Season 1. Ep. 1 50 State Finish Lines: Join us for a conversation about the Bismarck, North Dakota Half Marathon, Speed Goat HOKAS, and the power of pace groups.

In today's episode we discuss the Bismarck, North Dakota half marathon, a September road race celebrating its 40th anniversary.  A few race details include that it is a Saturday race which begins and ends in Bismarck's Cottonwood Park. The loop course travels through neighborhoods and along the Missouri River.  With race registration, runners receive a nylon bag which includes bright green compression socks.  Pacer groups are offered. Post race festivities include a street festival and Bismarck pub crawl. The race community in Bismarck was very friendly and the race course and finish area were well supported with volunteers.  

My guest Jen S. and I will discuss some race takeaways which include learning we are stronger than we think, and learning to define success using multiple measures. 

We discuss favorite running gear including the HOKA Speed Goat shoes & Garmin's 245 Forerunner GPS watch.
