Lisa Sweetman is a trail running enthusiast, who loves to chase big goals and engage with the local community. She is an endurance athlete, a mother to soon-to-be two children, a spouse to her wife Ashley, an elementary school teacher, and a small business owner. Woah, that’s a mouthful! In addition, Lisa is an avid ambassador of the 5Peaks Trail Running Series and the journal editor at Runners of the Six. Lisa has tackled races and runs everywhere from a 5km stroller race to a 100km recent effort. She loves to read fiction, write poetry, and eat donuts!

You can hear me share my feelings about (finally) venturing onto the S-T-Rava land and getting sad with my current pain-in-the-butt (pun intended!) situation. Skip ahead to 14:57 if you don't want to get drunk from my w(h)ine. :P  Oh I have so much to learn from Lisa's resilience... and this is only Part 1 of our conversation!
