In this episode of A-Squared Ramblers, Alex recaps his experience running the St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll 10K in Nashville, from near-perfect race conditions to beating last year’s time by just five seconds. But what started as a morning race turned into a full-day adventure, complete with post-run traditions, people-watching, and an unexpected dive into Nashville’s line dancing scene.

After sticking around downtown, Alex finds himself pulled into a “flash mob” style line dance event tied to an upcoming Nashville dance festival. What follows is a mix of beginner-friendly routines, a humbling attempt at more advanced dances, and even a run-in with a local line dancing influencer.

The episode wraps with reflections on fitness goals, the balance between running and strength training, and how living in Nashville is slowly (but surely) shaping new hobbies… and maybe even an accent.
