Hannah is a two time Boston finisher she’s run 15 marathons, now is now runs ultramarathons and is hoping to get into UTMB in 2020.

Thank you, everyone, for supporting our podcast.  It's a pleasure to continue as long as our aging bodies will hold out.   The days leading up to the run were just perfect even if we had some nervous moments of self-doubt.

In Today’s episode, Shawn and I discuss our 50 km run and how it all came together for good or bad.

Lessons learned from running our first 50k

1. Jump. Over and over again, I'm reminded of the power of taking that first step. It’s so easy to spend life on the sidelines — wishing for things to happen and waiting for that perfect time to jump in. I’ve been guilty of doing both these things more times than I would like to admit. But the thing is — whether or not you’re ready — time is passing. And there’s no way to reverse it so just jump and live your life on your terms.

Life truly brings you to some pretty amazing places, people and opportunities when you stop making excuses and just show up for it. See where your first step takes you.

2. Surround yourself with great people. People who make you laugh hard and smile endlessly. People with great stories. People who inspire you. People who meet you at 5 a.m. to run.  People who give the BEST pep talks.   People who support and help you achieve your goals without expecting anything in return.

3. Believe. If you don’t believe in yourself, no amount of support or encouragement from those around you will get you across the finish line. This applies to all areas of life.

Training for this 50k has been really non-existent.  It's been an exhaustive experience of my life. Getting back into running after 3 years is not an easy thing to do.  I had a few starts and stops however I got it done.  There were some runs that I had to plead with myself just to make it one more km. And then to the next one.

And yet, somewhere deep in my heart, I knew I was capable. I knew I was worthy. I knew I could do this. And in the middle of our run, when I was struggling and starting to think “I can’t” — I returned to that feeling of worthiness and found a way to take the next step forward.

4. There’s nothing to prove. Except for how much fun this entire process can be — especially when you’re in good company. When you run with your heart + joy, pace, time and distance are inconsequential.

5. Ride the wave. By committing to a long-distance run, you are choosing to put yourself into the exhilarating unknown. This is equally terrifying, incredible and energizing. Whatever may come on race day — choose to embrace the experience with open arms. The new terrain. The new thoughts. The new feelings. The new lessons.

6. Never limit where running can take you. Running as well as life is far more beautiful and complex than hitting a PB or crossing a finishing line. Enjoy the privilege that is taking even one step and simply being.
