Hello, my friends, my life warriors! I have been doing this podcast for a little bit of time now, and I always feel so privileged with all the people I get to talk with, and coach Kim Peek the Mighty is one of them.

In her early 40s, Kim became a runner, a triathlete, and then a coach. But she didn’t always like endurance activities. At one point, she threatened to fire her trainer because the sessions involved Kim running around the 1/10th of a mile track at the gym. She stuck with it because she enjoyed the camaraderie among the Moms, and because she quickly dropped 50 pounds, all while realizing she was capable of achieving hard things.

The discipline she developed as a runner gave her the strength to face a 2015 breast cancer diagnosis with courage. She continued running through treatment and celebrated the end of chemo by running a half marathon with a group of friends a week later.

So please enjoy the podcast and stay safe, stay well, be awesome, and please take a moment to tell a friend and subscribe.
