Vicki Hunter: A Lifelong Call to Run

Running has been a steady presence in Vicki Hunter's life since she was an early teen. Running began as a way to find calm through the challenges of youth, and developed into an arena of competitive challenge, on the roads and then the trails. Among her many accomplishments as a competitive runner, Hunter qualified for the 1988 Olympic Trials Marathon. Running also became integral to Hunter's healing journey after a horrific accident, which happened when she was pregnant with her first child.Now 63, Hunter continues to be fueled by competitive running, but her relationship to that pursuit has changed over time. Running pain free is a companion central focus, along with running fast. Hunter tells her whole story on the podcast: the beautiful moments and terrific difficulties, the growth and the challenges. Her thoughtfulness and wisdom shine through, looking back over her decades in the sport. Hunter also shares her running story embedded in her recently released memoir: Running and Returning: Seeking Balance in an Imperfect World. Keep Up with Vicki HunterInstagram: @thevickihunterWebsite: vforcepro.comLink to Hunter's book, Running and Returning: vforcepro.com/booksListen to Unexpected Curves, Hosted by Marielle HallApple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unexpected-curves/id1750120522Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3sx2j12qArDW5uJ9NoO9ksSupport Our SupportersLagoon Pillows: lagoonsleep.com/WRS15Use the discount code WRS15 for 15% off your first orderTo support WRS, please rate and review the showiTunes/Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44faMusic CreditsCormac O'Regan, of Playtohpenguinmusic, via PixabayComa-Media, via PixabayRomanBelov, via PixabayRoyaltyFreeMusic, via PixabaySergePavkinMusic, via PixabayLidérc Bell, via PixabayWays to Connect and Engage with Women's Running StoriesOver 50, Sub 20, 5k Project Instagram: @over50sub20_5k_projectWRS Instagram: @womensrunningstoriesFacebook: facebook.com/WomensRunningStoriesWebsite: womensrunningstories.comEmail host Cherie: [email protected]'s Running Stories is a proud member of the Evergreen network: https://evergreenpodcasts.com/
