Summary
"Despite my insistence that 'I can do this,' and, 'I'm fine,' and, 'I've got this,' I don't got this without my people."
I'm fresh off my second round of chemotherapy, and am back on the couch recording with friends. This time for chemo, I was joined by my dear friend Conor Nickel, and this is our recap from the day at the infusion center, and the few days we had together. We answered tons of listener questions, and Conor talks about being one of my go-to people throughout all of this.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Allie on the Run show. I'm your host, Allie Feller, and this is where I talk |
| 0:08.6 | with people who are doing exciting things on the run and beyond. From professional athletes and |
| 0:13.8 | celebrity runners to the everyday amateur and back of the pack runner, we are here to celebrate |
| 0:18.7 | everyone and anyone who enjoys a life on the run. |
| 0:22.7 | So whether you are running towards something big or away from something that's been holding |
| 0:26.5 | you back, I am here to hold your hand and help you pick up the pace. |
| 0:30.7 | Though right now, as I keep saying, you're kind of the ones holding my hand and helping me |
| 0:35.7 | keep some kind of pace. I am fresh off my |
| 0:39.1 | second round of chemotherapy for my stage four breast cancer diagnosis. My support person this time |
| 0:44.7 | around was my dear friend Connor Nicholl. You just heard from him recently on the episode about |
| 0:49.5 | the Olympic Marathon trial standards. You know Connor. We all love Connor. And today, Connor returns to the show |
| 0:55.5 | to talk about what it was like and what it has been like being an absolutely exceptional |

| 1:10.4 | episodes over to Patreon. But the feedback from that episode was wild. So, I don't know, these regular episodes that I'd do the one with Cousin Jackie and then move these personal episodes |
| 1:10.8 | over to Patreon, but the feedback from that episode was wild, so I'm here to give you more. |
| 1:16.5 | This one is less about bird watching, more about logistics, and answering a lot of the questions |
| 1:21.2 | that you sent in on Instagram stories, and I hope that you'll find something to take away from it. |
| 1:26.4 | Also, I will just say, it is really hard to do my job right now |
| 1:29.8 | and not just because of the chemo brain that is really kicking in. |
| 1:33.2 | I wish this weren't the case, but to schedule recordings, |
