  • Stacey, mom of two boys is coming up on her 1,000 consecutive day in a row of running here in the next few days. She started her run streak five years post baby and began running to start being more active and creating lifestyle changes. She initially lost around 50 pounds and found a way to get in at least one mile everyday to lose the weight and keep it off. The run streak has helped her understand how to feel her body and not just care about the number on the scale. Listen HERE

  • Jenna began running everyday and quickly realized she wanted to continue her daily run. She ran all through her pregnancy, hoping her run streak would continue.

She decided to retire her run streak and heal from pregnancy before embarking on another run streak! Listen HERE
