E 22: "Don't Look Back!" with Ashley Shutts The Bluegrass BAMR Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
I am excited to introduce Ashley Shutts to all the listeners out there this week. She is a mom, hiker, wife, barber, and ultrarunner here in the Louisville area. In this episode, she describes to us how her love for the outdoors as a kid helped create the runner she is today. Ashley describes falling ill with an autoimmune disease after having her first child. Experiencing Guillain-Barre Syndrome greatly impacted the way Ashley approached life after going through therapy and re-learning how to walk. She started chasing distances and times after her first 5K and progressed to finishing her first 100-mile race at The Falls 100 in 2019. Ashley states her gratitude to the running community is overwhelming and her best piece of advice is that while bad things can happen to us in life, "don't look back", just keep moving forward and persevere.
