I recently met Ultrarunner Carilyn Johnson on Twitter. When I learned more about her, I reached out to see if she would be interested being on the Podcast! I'm thankful she said YES! 


Carilyn is a mother, lawyer, ultrarunner, 4x Team USA 24 Hour team, Adventurer, Open water swimmer, and scuba diver. She is also a graduate of the New School of Cooking. In this conversation we discuss:

 How exercise helped Carilyn during a period of grieving. 
 The value of keeping a routine. 
  How it's never too late to get started when it comes to running. 
  Knowing we can go further than we often think. 
  Understanding how emotions follows actions. 
  Why it's important to do the mundane actions like making your bed everyday. 
  The value of having a coach. 
  The benefits of fasting. 

You can find Carilyn on Twitter @CarilynJohnson
