Welcome to another week of the DNS Runners - we’re definitely not stressed as we inch another week closer to running the 2024 Chicago marathon. After an unintentional hiatus as a result of Spotify updating their podcast app and removing editing features, we are back up and running!

You can see the sleep in our eyes as the episode begins - literally in Kelly’s case, who took a nap and then set an alarm to wake up at 8:45 pm to record.

We recap our hot weather long runs, and mike once again sings the praises of his treadmill. Summer marathon training is not for the faint of heart! Katie shares her love of running in the rain, and the joy it brought her long run!

Kellys brain continues to lag throughout the episode, and she talks about how she’s been incorporating more mobility work into her training.

Mike shares his washing machine saga, and welcomes us to his smart house.

We talk about mom guilt on runs, and trying to make training happen in tandem with life commitments.
