    Episode 61: Austin’s Story

    Welcome back! After 2 months off, I’m so thrilled to be releasing another episode! I’m deeply sad that Austin’s story needs to be told at all… or rather that his life took the turn it did. This week’s episode explains how my 2nd born, Austin, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on May 2, 2024 and what’s been happening since then. Two graduations, a wedding, a canceled race, an impromptu 20k…and lots more. As always, thank you so much for listening and please reach out to funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady with feedback or questions. Thank you!

    Episode 58: All about the Zion 100 Challenge + A Tale of Two Daughters

    Prepare your ears to hear all about the awesomeness that is the Zion 100 Challenge by Milestone Events. As an ambassador for this event, I receive my entry in exchange for some posts and reels before, during and afterwards. It’s an amazing opportunity to try to hit my goal of 100k!! So I thought I’d share more about it…since I’m finally allowed to! The second part of the episode is a nifty little story about my two daughters and the whirlwind trip we took to Disney with Miss Ezri. Enjoy!!

    Episode 57: Races, Stress, and Wedding Plans

    This episode is all about the things in life that can affect our runs. Family drama, wedding plans, a shrinking household, feeling irrelevant as a person. Our bodies recognize stress…but not necessarily where that stress is coming from. And stress plays into our training as runners! I share a few more thoughts about my DNF at Lake Martin 2 weeks ago… this time from a much more coherent perspective. And I’ve finalized my races for the rest of 2024…Lord willing and if the creek don’t rise! Please share, rate, and subscribe to Fun of the Run wherever you listen. Reach out to me with questions or comments at funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Also mention in this episode deserttopeakcoaching.com, my coach Kylie Aldaz who can also be found on Instagram @desert_to_peak_coaching As always, thanks for listening!

    Episode 56: Skirted Runner Convo/ Interview with Heather Brubaker

    You are in for a treat this week as I interview Heather Brubaker from central Pennsylvania. She’s a Mennonite mother of 2 who just ran her second ever half marathon this past Saturday! Several months ago, she jokingly said I should have her on the podcast since we both run in long skirts…and I decided to take her up on it:) She’s funny, she’s genuine and I think you’re going to enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it! Find Heather on Instagram @heatherbrubaker19 As always, please reach out to me with feedback on this episode at funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Also mentioned in this episode: my coach Kylie Aldaz who can be reached at deserttopeakcoaching.com and @desert_to_peak_coaching on Instagram. Thanks for listening!!

    Episode 55: DNF’ing My First 50 Miler: Lake Martin Race Recap

    In this week’s episode, you get to hear all of the mind numbing details about how I traveled alone from Arizona to Alabama to toe the start line of the Lake Martin 50 in Alexander City, Alabama. Copious amounts of coffee were consumed and I even barricaded myself into my hotel room because I was afraid of being alone in a strange place. Ultimately, I ended up running more miles than I ever have before and came away with memories that will last a lifetime. From “rolling hills” to 9,999,543 water crossings, to mucky mud and a possible electrolyte imbalance… this story has lots of the good stuff. Hope you enjoy! As always, please send feedback to funoftherunpodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Thank you for listening!
