Summary
"It’s not that we don’t disagree or we don’t challenge each other, because that’s a really important part of it. We definitely challenge each other and we’re always growing, but I feel like we’re constantly growing in a similar direction, and that’s why it works so well."

This year, we’re celebrating all different types of love leading up to Valentine’s Day — seven days, seven episodes, seven love stories, including couples, best friends, and siblings. First up: a sweet dose of romance with one of running's fastest couples. On this episode, Jenny and Jason Simpson talk about how they met and fell in love amidst backyard BBQs, Olympic debuts, and "Jason's smooth moves."

| 0:14.1 | Welcome to the Alley on the Run Show. I'm your host Allie Feller and I love love. |
| 0:20.0 | People make fun of Valentine's Day. They say it's cheesy, it's a hallmark holiday, |
| 0:24.1 | it's all pink, and glitter, and chocolates, and yeah, exactly what's not to love about all of that. |
| 0:32.0 | Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday and we're going to be celebrating Love all week here |
| 0:37.6 | on the Alley on the Run Show. I hope you're up for it because welcome to the second annual |
| 0:43.4 | Love on the Run Week. This year I've got seven episodes lined up for you, seven conversations |

| 1:45.7 | I'm thinking this should be a running game. Do a 10-second sprint every time I say the word love. |
| 1:51.4 | Today, we are kicking things off with one of the fastest running couples on the planet. Jenny and |
