Our brains are mostly frozen, which is how we went a whole podcast forgetting to give our respect to Conner Mantz at the Houston Marathon. But we do manage to talk about running shoes, including the Brooks Glycerin 22, while mixing in a whole bunch of other interests, including our favorite TV shows of all-time.

Last weekend was a blast running with the GRIT gang here in Baltimore, so in this week's episode of The Drop, we recap that. Meg was having the worst run ever in Charleston, so she dives into that, as well as how she got to see the Bob Dylan movie six months in advance. We also cover the return of Shelby Houlihan and the state of Strava before getting into all the details of the Hoka Bondi 9. We'll going to Miami! Come join us for a shakeout run and hang out with us on a freakin' yacht, where you can demo the Bondi 9 and snag some free swag, including a pair of Goodr sunglasses.

Kicking the new year off right with trying to figure out if pigeons are halal, the legacy of the Donner Party, hologram bracelets and very non-Eastern philosophies, Winter GRIT updates, and Meg's new foray into sourdough bread baking. Also, we talk about the Anta C202 5 GT, which sounds like a droid name, and more thoughts on the Asics Gel-Nimbus 27. We'll also be in Miami at the end of the month, so maybe we'll see you there.

In our final installment of the team's origin stories, we visit the life and times of Meaghan Murray. If it's not already obvious, Meg is the glue that holds this house of cards together, and you'll see why after listening to this episode. From growing up in Maryland to going to school in Charleston to finally getting into running and absolutely crushing it with dedication and consistency, she finally gets a chance to tell her story with only minor interruptions from the peanut gallery. Hope you enjoy and thanks for all your kind thoughts and words on our origin stories over the last few weeks.
