Episode 31 is here!!!

From Virginia to Mississippi, I am taking you on a tour of some of the best races in the South, plus a few quirky ones you must try at least once.

I cover:
• Yuengling Shamrock Half (VA)
• Derby Festival Marathon and Half (KY)
• St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend (TN)
• Gulf Coast Marathon Weekend (MS)
• Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half (NC)
• The Halloween Hustle (SC)
• Peachtree Road Race 10K (GA)
• Rocket City Marathon Weekend (AL)

And yes, the Bigfoot Boogie in McCaysville, GA, and the Barkley-esque Crazies Trifecta in Rainsville, AL make the list too.

Whether you are chasing PRs, medals, or just good post-race beer and BBQ, there is a race here for you.

Witnessing a community's support is powerful. Amidst the race, the runners' shared respect created a 'very special moment.' It's a reminder of sportsmanship, perseverance, and uplifting one another to the finish line.

We explore why toenails fall off and turn black. Understand what causes this issue and learn it's a common experience, especially for runners. We provide valuable insights into just why they let loose.

My mentor, (and dare I say, friend), Kyle Walker and The Back of the Pack Podcast was just featured in a Runner's World article!!! So amazing to see such great people getting the recognition they so deserve! Kyle has been amazingly supportive of my journey to create Behind the Bib. He puts his money where his mouth is. He’s authentic and so much funnier than I am. If you haven’t given his podcast a listen - you definitely should!

We made it friends! is officially in now! Here’s a small piece that we’re mentioned in. There’s more throughout the article. We’re just getting started baby!
