ALLY BRETTNACHER: Running's Role: From Punishment to Pride

Remember how running was a form of punishment as a kid? Talking during gym class? Run. Not listening when the soccer coach is talking? Run. That is honestly how I got into running. Because I would end up running all of soccer practice, I figured I might as well do the sport my dad wanted me to do anyway.

Running was once a form of punishment for Ally Brettnacher, too. And then that evolved into punishing her body for unhealthy choices or the way she felt about it as a young adult. I think may can relate...

But as life went on, her relationship with running changed. And instead of being a source of punishment, it evolved into a source of pride and celebration--and an example she can set for her kids.

In this episode, Ally is open and honest about her journey. We talk about

🌀 how she ensures her relationship with running sets a positive example for her girls
🌀 how she keeps running fun while also seeking to challenge herself and get better
🌀 her passion for supporting Ainsley's Angels and the running community, and so much more.

You may recognize Ally's name: she is not just a dedicated runner and mom of two; she’s also the driving force behind Athlete Bouquets, a unique gift concept filled with goodies for runners, and the host of the Finish Lines and Milestones Podcast which is also in the Sandy Boy Productions family—just like this podcast.

With a remarkable record of 70 half marathons and 9 marathons, Ally is a wealth of knowledge and experience. She has plenty of stories to share that will resonate with you or inspire you.
