Description

Allison Gaillard is excited to have Taylor Baird as a guest on the show. Taylor represents the Women's Resource Center and discusses her husband Trey Baird's running journey. Taylor initially started running in Birmingham to get in shape but realized she wasn't a fan of racing. After meeting Trey, they didn't run together much due to their differing paces. However, after having children, Taylor got back into running with a friend, and they participated in the Azalea Trail Run. They now enjoy walking more than running. On the other hand, Trey got into running during medical school and eventually ran marathons and Ironman races.Taylor and her friends love to support Trey and his running adventures. They've cheered him on in various races across the country and have made it a family affair, with their children even riding bikes alongside Trey during training.One key lesson from running for Trey is the importance of commitment and preparation. His favorite races include the Boston Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. Taylor also loves the Marine Corps Marathon for its emotional impact.Taylor discusses her involvement with the Women's Resource Center (WRC) and the valuable resources it provides to women in need. She highlights three main areas of the WRC's work: Intervention, Empowerment, and Prevention. Taylor emphasizes the importance of community support, volunteerism, and donations for the WRC, as it is a non-government-funded organization that relies on the generosity of individuals and businesses to carry out its mission.Taylor BairdWomen's Resource CenterRaces MentionedThis is Life 5kAzalea Trail RunChicago MarathonMarine Corps MarathonMobile MarathonShout OutsTrey BairdBen WalkerMcCreary OttsWrenn LandersHaley LandersJoe SimsMcCoys OutdoorsCindy TaylorMarty CarrellSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, including signing up for our upcoming training program, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development, coding tutoring, or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!
