For most guides once the season is over they move on to something else uncertain if they will be back the following year. In this episode we talk to Trey from All Outdoors CA Whitewater Rafting and hear about his experience as a guide and how he's transitioned this to a year round career.

​ Riley tells us about her quest to run 50 marathons in each of the 50 states and the challenges of running multiple, some times back to back, marathons in a year. Despite this ongoing journey she returns to run the Disney Marathon weekend each year to see old friends and enjoy the incredibly magical event. This episode was great and gave me a bit of encouragement for the marathons I plan to run this year and into the future.
