Happy New Year's Eve friends and welcome to episode number 10! 2020 is finally coming to a close and this is normally a very special day filled with parties and gatherings with friends and family. While 2020 has been anything but normal, we would like to infuse a little bit of happiness into the air on this last day of the year.

Today we are so happy to welcome Kara Forrest to the show! If you had to choose someone to bring a bit of cheer to your day, there's no better person to do just that than Kara.
Kara is one of the kindest, most genuine people we know and in this conversation Kara shares with us the intimate details about the highlights of Portland, Maine which holds a special place in her heart.

Kara also tells us about her running journey and we go a little deep in our discussion touching upon Kara's experience with attending a historically Black University, and a whole lot more.
Kara is a runner, long time school teacher, mom, wife and friend. There are people in the running industry that you hear a lot from, people that get their story told over and over, but Kara's is a story that hasn't been out there. We're really happy to give the spotlight to Kara today and we hope you enjoy this episode!
