    Episode 63: My First 100 Miler/Across the Years
    Jan 8 2025

    Welcome back to the Fun of the Run podcast. After a bit of a hiatus due to my son Austin's cancer diagnosis in May 2024, I'm back with a recap of my first EVER 100 mile race...Across the Years! It was a wild ride getting here and I couldn't have done it without the help and support of so many of you. Please enjoy the raw and real perspective of what it's like to approach a 100 miler as a runner who typically finishes in last place at ultras. Spoiler alert: I DID it!!! And the belt buckle is glorious. Please visit aravaiparunning.com for more info about Across the Years event or see @aravaiparunning on IG. Please visit ChrisMorrison.Runs@gmail.com or @ultra_path_coaching on Instagram to inquire about run coaching. Please email funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM @waddellrunninglady with comments, questions, suggestions or feedback on this show. As always, thank you for listening!

  • Episode 61: Austin’s Story

    Episode 61: Austin’s Story
    Jul 10 2024
    Welcome back! After 2 months off, I’m so thrilled to be releasing another episode! I’m deeply sad that Austin’s story needs to be told at all… or rather that his life took the turn it did. This week’s episode explains how my 2nd born, Austin, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on May 2, 2024 and what’s been happening since then. Two graduations, a wedding, a canceled race, an impromptu 20k…and lots more. As always, thank you so much for listening and please reach out to funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady with feedback or questions. Thank you!

    Prepare your ears to hear all about the awesomeness that is the Zion 100 Challenge by Milestone Events. As an ambassador for this event, I receive my entry in exchange for some posts and reels before, during and afterwards. It’s an amazing opportunity to try to hit my goal of 100k!! So I thought I’d share more about it…since I’m finally allowed to! The second part of the episode is a nifty little story about my two daughters and the whirlwind trip we took to Disney with Miss Ezri. Enjoy!!

    Episode 57: Races, Stress, and Wedding Plans
    Apr 2 2024
    This episode is all about the things in life that can affect our runs. Family drama, wedding plans, a shrinking household, feeling irrelevant as a person. Our bodies recognize stress…but not necessarily where that stress is coming from. And stress plays into our training as runners! I share a few more thoughts about my DNF at Lake Martin 2 weeks ago… this time from a much more coherent perspective. And I’ve finalized my races for the rest of 2024…Lord willing and if the creek don’t rise! Please share, rate, and subscribe to Fun of the Run wherever you listen. Reach out to me with questions or comments at funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Also mention in this episode deserttopeakcoaching.com, my coach Kylie Aldaz who can also be found on Instagram @desert_to_peak_coaching As always, thanks for listening!

    Mar 26 2024
    You are in for a treat this week as I interview Heather Brubaker from central Pennsylvania. She’s a Mennonite mother of 2 who just ran her second ever half marathon this past Saturday! Several months ago, she jokingly said I should have her on the podcast since we both run in long skirts…and I decided to take her up on it:) She’s funny, she’s genuine and I think you’re going to enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it! Find Heather on Instagram @heatherbrubaker19 As always, please reach out to me with feedback on this episode at funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady.
