About this listen
Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over 100 miles or more on more than 100 occasions and the first to run 100 and 200 miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in 12 days, four hours, and 57 minutes.
And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict.
After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.
In Reborn on the Run, the listener keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners.

A MUST for all humans... No matter who you are.
Everyone can take something useful out of this book. Catra’s story is descriptive, raw, and real. She is living breathing proof that no matter what your circumstances, addictions, disorders, or afflictions that have plagued or imprisoned you, for that matter, you can always conquer them and turn them into something truly beautiful. Addictions can transform into passions, abuse can come back as fuel and strengths, and conquering your disorders can help others find the way to the end of theirs.
Find something you like and fall in love with it! I love this book and cannot day enough. Furthermore, Catra herself is one of the most kind, caring, and humble women out there today. Thanks Dirt Diva! 💝💕💜
