Lessons from Running 100 miles [Joy and Achievement when living in alignment]

People call me crazy when I tell them that I am running another 100 miler next month! Yet, what I know to be crazy is living anything other than a path that fills me up with joy as I work hard for that which matters and brings true meaning to life! But how do we know that we are on a path that actually matters? How do we know that all of our planning and strategizing as we set goals and work hard towards achieving is actually going to bring forth the fulfillment that our hearts and souls are longing for!Today on the podcast, I speak to my own wild journey away from what I had been taught was my high and mighty path to walk (that of a Biomedical Researcher) and how I have come to know when I am truly living a path that serves: that serves my own self as I receive joy and fulfillment; and, as I help transform the lives of others!It's my own wild ride over here as an ultrarunner preparing to run my next big event and continuously reflecting on the important lessons I am living and learning along the way: lessons which continue to guide me far beyond the playground that is trail running as they ripple out into all aspects of life.Support the showJoin me in Earth Embodiment Circle!
