Grey Gaillard - "If you put your mind to it, you can achieve it"

Grey Gaillard, the RYS podcast editor, shares his journey into running, starting with occasional runs and progressing to a 10K race. He mentions his favorite race, "Run to the Light," which supports a worthy cause. He emphasizes the importance of proper running shoes and recently purchased Saucony Speed shoes.

Grey offers advice for beginner runners, emphasizing the importance of getting advice, following a training program, running with others, having proper equipment, and staying hydrated. He currently has no specific running goals but expresses interest in running another 10K or the Battleship 12K in the future. Grey also talks about his approach to running and how he conducts a diagnostic check on his body to decide whether to continue running or take a break.

Allison and Grey discuss various aspects of their lives, including their involvement with the Women's Resource Center, Grey's Gaillard Tech Services business, and his passion for running and volunteering in the running community. He highlights the importance of the Run Your Story website, which he manages and continuously updates to provide information on running events, clubs, and stores in the area. The conversation concludes with gratitude for their Patreon supporters and the importance of volunteering in the running community.
