Episode description

Some people's idea of fun is a nice evening on the couch with a movie.  Today's guest likes to drive a few hours, sleep in the back of her station wagon, wake up and run 50+ miles, and then drive home.  She is Alison Anderson, she is an endurance athlete, Echelon rider, and all around awesome person.  Meredith and I have a great conversation about discipline and "finding your thing".  We also talk about her podcast that she does with another rider, Norm Miller, called the Post Race Cookie Cast.  if you have interest in endurance sports, you'll love it.  Find it at www.postracecookie.com and wherever you get your podcasts.
