A Birthday Q&A: Running, Fueling, Twin Mom Life + My Biggest Running Goals

It's my 38th birthday! 🎉 So we're doing something a little different on *The Fuel Run Recover Podcast* this week. I asked you to send me your questions about running, fueling, business, motherhood, and life behind the scenes—and today, I'm answering them. In this episode, we're chatting about: - My most memorable finish line (and why it wasn't at an official race!) - The fuel I personally reach for most often during long runs - Whether runners actually *need* to use gels - What returning to running after having twins really looked like for me - My favorite race distance and the races still sitting on my bucket list - The BIG running goal I'd love to accomplish someday - Why I wasn't always a runner—and how I spent five years making the same training mistakes before finally having a breakthrough - My favorite (and hardest!) parts of being a twin mom This one's a little more personal, a little behind-the-scenes, and hopefully a fun way to celebrate another trip around the sun together.
