This week we are chatting with ultra runner, mom, teacher, author and adventurer Jessica Pekari!!
Jessica recently wrote "Bombs to Trails: Interweaving Heritage, Life, and PTSD on the Pacific Crest Trail" about her attempt at the fastest known time and the realizations and lessons she learned along the way. It is an excellent book and be sure to check it out.
She is also an absolutely incredible athlete having finished first place woman at the Moab 240 in 2018 and finishing first place woman in the triple crown of 200s that year.
In this episode we talk all about her experiences in 200 milers and her time on the Pacific Crest Trail! Hope you all enjoy the episode as much as I did!!
