RFP Podcast Episode #238 – Ultra Dad Session #46: Girl’s on the Run – Pre-Race Interview

Relentless Forward Progress with Mike Ubaldini

Back to back Friday nights and this one was all about the girls. The Shane twins, Cora & Taylor, were front and center for a pre-race conversation about their 5k tomorrow. The event is part of the Girl’s on the Run program they are a part of, which is a nationwide non-profit organization to help with physical and mental health development. You can find more about the organization in the link below: https://www.girlsontherun.org/ Weather came up, as always and it is going to be a chilly 26* for their run tomorrow……brrrrrrr! Some PSU Football and a few little life lessons – “Stop, Breath, Think!” The girlies brought it tonight and hope you all enjoy this one. Rinse and repeat from last week on the beverage side, Mike with just water and Bryan again, going big with Troegs’ Mad Elf!!!

Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place. Bryan & Mike
