In this warm, intimate and very special conversation, we are so excited to welcome our longtime friend, Kristin Pelinka to the Suite Run podcast! We have been great friends with the Pelinka family for over 14 years and it is an incredible treat to share our conversation with Kristin. Kristin is a nine time marathoner, pediatrician, mom to two terrific kids and wife to General Manager of the L.A. Lakers, Rob Pelinka.
We chat about so many great topics - from Kristin's entry into running and her passion as a pediatrician to what it's like being a basketball wife. Halfway through, we pivot into the raw, natural beauty of Newport Beach - one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Kristin has lived in Newport her entire life and shares with us all the hidden gems that make it so unique. Don't miss this amazing conversation!
