This is the 2nd time I've had Ben on the podcast, and the third time I've had his wife Allison on. They are both amazing people doing awesome things. The reason this episode came to light was because we didn't think Ben was going to line up less than 2 weeks from the start of the race. This is the story of how that came to be and how Ben found the finish line through all of it!
