Description
  Tonight's very special guest comes to us from Riverview NB and is part of the Riverview Running Idiots like myself and Diane, it was a pleasure to welcome Julie Stokes to our show. Julie Stokes is the Supervisor of Water & Wastewater for the City of Moncton, NB where she assists in the supervision of the Municipality’s Water & Wastewater Operations. Julie has lived in Riverview for 4 years even though the plan was to stay only 2. Started running in the Fall of 2012 on a dare and a few pops.  Proved to herself that she could run and went to Ottawa in May 2013 for her first 10km race, had an amazing experience in Ottawa, and was hooked. Joined the running room clinics, first came the 10km clinic and somewhere along the way, she was told she would never finish a half-marathon race, Oh yeah, watch me now.  "Gremlins in my head" is a great story you need to hear from Julie as she learns to shut down her negative thoughts. Thanks to a Covid Garmin watch gift to her daughter, Julie had a run partner through Covid. Don't forget Julie shares silly sewer stories while running and she has some good ones. Enjoys camping and now runs on the trails in Fundy Park.
