This week’s mini episode is a fun one! We're welcoming my mom, Monique, to the show who is currently training for her first marathon (Chicago 2025!) We talk about how things are going so far, what’s changed since she last ran eight years ago, and why she now sets a 4 a.m. alarm and carries candy in her running belt.

She’s made it very clear that it’s all my fault getting her into this, but she’s learning a lot, doing things differently this time, and slowly becoming a morning runner (against her will). 

Follow along with my mom's journey at @monique.sayles on Instagram, or follow my page (@tay.says) where I'll be posting her training updates here and there as well.
