    The massive mental game of a trail loving ultra runner trying a marathon (again).

Courtney runs her own race with confidence that pays off in an 8th place finish!! Inspiration: Aimee shares how her mantra evolved from Run with Joy to Suffer with Joy and reminded herself that There will be a day you can't do this but today is not that day!
