The Running Grind

We're stepping outside the running world and talking with 30-time grand champions and triple under record holder, Tori Boggs. Winning her first grand champion title at age 9 years old, she still competing but is currently in Germany performing at shows that are still open despite the Covid pandemic. Always a competitor, she's found a new way to express her passion through these live shows and has seen her popularity sky-rocket since the onset of Covid back in March as she has amassed thousands upon thousands of new followers on IG in the last seven months. She's the ambassador to bringing her sport to the mainstream and forefront.

We sit and chat with Tanna and Bree from Run Project. They're the ones behind the popular Dallas/Fort Worth race series that include the popular events: Dash Down Greenville, Skyline and Badass Texas to name a few. We talk the story behind Run Project from its beginnings to how they are handling things today's current pandemic situation. They also take us behind the scenes of what goes one to put on such an event for a fantastic running community it the DFW area. Without great race organizers likes Run Project, things like PR's, BQ's and OTQ's would be a lot harder to come by

@letty_runs_happy joins us this week to talk her running journey that started just 6 years ago after volunteering as a mentor for Katy Students Run, a program in Katy, TX that helps students (that may or may not be making great decisions) to train and run a half-marathon. The program is great in that it gives them something to be accounted for, dedicate time, and stay focused and work towards a goal that was once just an idea. After finishing her first half marathon, she moved to Fort Worth, Texas and the rest is history.

At the 2023 Texas Independence Relay, the husband and wife duo took on the ~200 mile race as a team of two. Unfortunately, they got to 120-ish miles and had to call it a day but they spent the next 365 days thinking about redemption. With increased training, multiple ultramarathons, they came back ready and more prepared for TIR 2024 and conquered the course!
Let's catch up with them post-race and hear it in their own words
