Welcome to Coach Bennett's podcast, where every run has a purpose, where kindness is

hardcore, where this is about running, and this is not about running, where every starting

line is a finish line in disguise, where rambling still gets you where you need to be, where

we should hang a swing on this branch.

And we can sit on it and we can swing underneath it.

And maybe we even put like a tire swing on there so the kids can get on there and they can have some fun.

And we'll sip lemonade on the porch and we'll watch the kids can get on there and they can have some fun and we'll sip lemonade on the

porch and we'll watch the kids take turns on the beautiful little tire swing that we got rolling.

I don't know what kind of a tree this would be. I don't know much about trees. I just know that I love
