47. Post Victoria Breakdown: How it all went down - Shanimal shows true grit in her battle vs. the Marathon

About this episode

Shan and Rob discuss the challenges faced during the Victoria Marathon and the character revealed through struggle.

This week Shan and Rob discuss the Victoria Marathon. It was a tough day as Shan went 3:58, her 2nd fastest time ever, but she shy of her ultimate goal of a sub 3:50. Shannon absolutely left it all out there and I could not be more proud of the effort she put forth on race day. They aren't all great, but it is through struggle where character is revealed - our girl never quit and can walk away proud with how she showed up. Tune in as we talk it all out. Thanks for all ...
