Kelby Laughner ran the Olympic Trials Marathon in 2020 while 27 weeks pregnant. Need I say more? Kelby was my first live podcast guest and it was a lot of fun (and also terrifying). Thank you to my coach, Rachel, for the opportunity!

During this episode, sponsored by BITCHSTIX, Previnex, and Cure Hydration, we talk about:

• Intro from my coach, Rachel Sinders, since this interview took place LIVE! During the very first Team RMR Running Retreat
• Running at a D1 school in college at The University of Evansville
• How she started dating her husband during senior year of high school and all through college even though they were 4.5 hours apart
• The fact that she ran 19 miles with a friend during a marathon she wasn’t running
• Why she got into running in the first place
• Highlights of her collegiate career - 5K school record (17:27 - that she went on to beat last year after becoming a mom of two)
• Her first marathon at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in 2015, the year after she graduated and the year she got married
• Finding Coach Matt Ebersole of Personal Best Training (PBT)
• What it’s like to be an Army wife
• Having her first baby during COVID
• Getting the Olympic Trials Qualifying time before the window was open in 2017 and then thankfully doing it again at Grandma’s in 2018
