Mile 20

Episode 28: Made it to Mobile

In this lively episode, Lorri and Laura take you to Mobile, Alabama—home of the original Mardi Gras and now a fast (ish), flat (ish) January race with a big heart. Tune in as they recount their adventure rerouted by weather, a mad dash rental car ride from Tallahassee, nearly missing packet pickup, and celebrating marathon #30 in style—with Prosecco in water bottles, shirts that sparked reactions, and medallions handmade by the incredible First Light Community. Mobile definitely offered some good old southern charm!

Episode 25: Blobfest

This week, we dive deep into all things The Blob! Inspired by the iconic 1958 Steve McQueen movie, we're bringing you to BlobFest weekend in Phoenixville. We recap our experience watching The Blob at the legendary Colonial Theater, explore the quirky and vibrant BlobFest daytime activities, and share our experience on the BlobFest Run half marathon — a race that perfectly captured the strong sense of community this town is known for. It was weird, wonderful, and 100% worth it. Join us for laughs, stories, and maybe even a few screams (of joy).

Throw in beanies, canned mimosas, and cornfield views, and you’ve got a wild, runner-fueled Hoosier adventure!

Episode 20: Trekking the Inca Trail

In this adventurous Mile 20 episode, we dive into a life-changing journey through Peru, fueled by purpose and powered by friendship. Starting in Lima and flying high into the Andes, the group hiked the legendary Inca Trail with stunning views, cultural stops, and challenging ascents, including the grueling Dead Woman’s Pass at almost 14k feet. Along the way, there were guinea pig tastings, llama encounters, porter-led sunset happy hours, and magical moments at Machu Picchu - this was no ordinary trek! It was a trip filled with laughter, altitude, ancient ruins, and a whole lot of heart for a cause close to home.

Episode 19: Kicks on Route 66

Get ready for a wild ride as we recap the Route 66 Tulsa Marathon—one of the most fun and festive races we've ever done! From an energetic, chilly start to jello shots, tequila, and surprise drinks along the course, this race was a non-stop party. We enjoyed VIP perks, explored Tulsa’s awesome local spots (shoutout to Elote Cafe and Mother Road Market), and embraced the city’s quirky charm. Sure, we broke the golden rule with brand-new shoes and learned the hard way why renting a car matters—but we also got “Leid” and topped it all off with beer at the Center of the Universe Ultra. This episode is packed with good vibes, great stories, and plenty of Tulsa spirit!
