We've been talking about "fitness" wrong. There's more to fitness than working out and eating "right". We need to look at a more complete picture, and adjust our understanding and approach.

Life is funny sometimes.

Every once in a while, our lives are affected in the most profound way. Often, the catalyst is something we never would’ve expected.

The after-effects of these moments can be huge.

For Kristen Winger, this couldn't be more accurate. Before, she was a regular woman, with a regular job, living a regular life. She had problems she was dealing with, and health issues of course - but who doesn't? Then, innocently enough, running came along and slowly changed everything.

In this episode Kristen Winger joins us to share the story of her lifechanging journey. We learn what life was like when this all started, and how running entered the picture. She shares how she slowly went deeper down the proverbial rabbit hole until she found herself staring down her first full marathon. We get personal, and learn how running helped her become a mother, and what exactly the thought process is that continues to propel her forward. Finally, we talk about her biggest undertaking yet - the Ghost Train Rail Trail Race 100 Miler.
