Thanks for joining me for yet another episode of Fun of the Run! This week we’re talking hot weather running tips, how my “mid-church-meeting” run went down…and why sometimes you just need to email the race director already! As always, thank you so much for listening and please send feedback on this episode to funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM @waddellrunninglady on Instagram.

Prepare your ears to hear all about the awesomeness that is the Zion 100 Challenge by Milestone Events. As an ambassador for this event, I receive my entry in exchange for some posts and reels before, during and afterwards. It’s an amazing opportunity to try to hit my goal of 100k!! So I thought I’d share more about it…since I’m finally allowed to! The second part of the episode is a nifty little story about my two daughters and the whirlwind trip we took to Disney with Miss Ezri. Enjoy!! As always, please share your feedback on this episode at funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me @waddellrunninglady Thank you for listening!!

This episode is all about the things in life that can affect our runs. Family drama, wedding plans, a shrinking household, feeling irrelevant as a person. Our bodies recognize stress…but not necessarily where that stress is coming from. And stress plays into our training as runners! I share a few more thoughts about my DNF at Lake Martin 2 weeks ago… this time from a much more coherent perspective. And I’ve finalized my races for the rest of 2024…Lord willing and if the creek don’t rise! Please share, rate, and subscribe to Fun of the Run wherever you listen.

You are in for a treat this week as I interview Heather Brubaker from central Pennsylvania. She’s a Mennonite mother of 2 who just ran her second ever half marathon this past Saturday! Several months ago, she jokingly said I should have her on the podcast since we both run in long skirts…and I decided to take her up on it:) She’s funny, she’s genuine and I think you’re going to enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it! Find Heather on Instagram @heatherbrubaker19 As always, please reach out to me with feedback on this episode at funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Also mentioned in this episode: my coach Kylie Aldaz who can be reached at deserttopeakcoaching.com and @desert_to_peak_coaching on Instagram. Thanks for listening!!

In this week’s episode, you get to hear all of the mind numbing details about how I traveled alone from Arizona to Alabama to toe the start line of the Lake Martin 50 in Alexander City, Alabama. Copious amounts of coffee were consumed and I even barricaded myself into my hotel room because I was afraid of being alone in a strange place. Ultimately, I ended up running more miles than I ever have before and came away with memories that will last a lifetime. From “rolling hills” to 9,999,543 water crossings, to mucky mud and a possible electrolyte imbalance… this story has lots of the good stuff. Hope you enjoy!
