I'm jumping into the Feisty sphere with both feet. This September, I'm heading to Lehigh Valley,

Pennsylvania for Feisty Fest. FiceFest is a three-day festival crafted specifically for women,

a weekend away from the noise of everyday life dedicated entirely to movement, learning, and community.

The vibe? Think less, intense fitness retreat more, the best weekend you've had in years.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just getting started, there's something at Feisty Fest for you.

And I should know, as I'm helping plan the weekend's events, presenters, and special treats.

As an attendee, you can try activities you've never done before, things like track workouts, trail running, and barbells,

or spend the weekend doing the thing you already love surrounded by other women who get it.

In addition to running, I plan to be part of swim sessions, possibly elliptigo demo rides,

and pickleball games, and much more.

On the education side, you'll hear from legit experts, including running coaches,

gravel cycling aficionados, and a strength training coach, plus a live podcast recording of this show.

And built into all of it, real downtime, space to decompress, connect with other women,

and just be for a weekend. I'll be there, and I really hope you will be too. Learn more about FeistyFest by going

to Feisty.co. That's F-E-I-S-T-Y dot CO. Welcome to another mother runner, your best running friend in podcast form.

We do all the talking, even on the uphills.

I'm your host Sarah Bowen-Shay, and I'm joined today in studio sitting right next to me by my co-host and dear friend Molly Williams.

So welcome back to the co-host chair, Molly.

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, we're trying to figure out how to get this video thing to work. This video thing. Because we're used to

looking at each other. And that's the whole beauty of having you in the studio is that we get to

look at each other. And now we're looking at a screen. And half of it's covered up by my notes. Right. Yeah. So basically I'm looking at myself. But I can, I can, I can touch you. You're right there. We're hoping. You can grab your knee if I get scared. Yes. You could do that. The microphone hopefully doesn't bleed into each other. Yes. So and it never occurred to me. And when you got down here to the recording studio, you're like, yeah. And where's my camera? I'm like, um. Ah, well. Then I said, oh my gosh, I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. And then I'm like, wait, I didn't think of it. You thought of it. So thank you. Could you have thought of it sooner, Molly?

It's all new.
