0:00.0	Yo, welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I am your host, Finn Melanson. The Stoke is as strong, is as ignited as ever. A lot of stuff in the works these days. We just published a state of the single track episode where my colleague and I, Mike Tamayo, give you an update on the behind
0:22.5	scenes of this show as well as the newsletter. And yeah, let me know what you think on social
0:28.7	media. It is definitely an experimental format, but we want to publish it from time to time,
0:34.3	maybe on a monthly basis as we make an effort to be as public as possible,
0:39.1	but how we do, what we do, and why we do it, because, yeah, there might be some people in the
0:45.3	audience that want to go and do their own thing when it comes to business in the running world.
0:49.7	And if we can serve as any sort of guidepost or inspiration, that is way cool.

1:34.1	We also talk about how she handles life as a public figure in the running community and the wisdom she's picked up over the years navigating that.
1:43.7	We talk about her experience as an entrepreneur, running a successful running related
1:48.1	internet business and a couple more topics, but we also make sure to ask her what's
1:54.4	interesting in the ultra world.
1:56.1	And when we can expect her to line up at a marquee event, you know, maybe at Comrades or Western States or UTMB.
2:03.4	A lot of good conversation threads in this one.
2:06.2	But without further ado, welcome to the show.
2:09.7	Grayson Murphy, welcome to the single track podcast.
