2021 has been an exciting year for Running for Real.  We’ve changed direction a little bit, but one thing that remains constant is our sense of community and our desire to make everyone feel included and welcome.  Our theme for the new year is #Together22, and we’re looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Another change is that the Running for Real team has grown.  To help you get to know us better, the team members have chosen podcast episodes from the past year that especially resonated with them.  We hope that you enjoyed - or will enjoy - them as much as we did!

These are the episodes that we selected.  To read each team member’s comments, please visit the show notes page on the Running for Real website
