Miles of Meaning: From Marathon Runner to Ultra Distance Finisher with Julie Hughes, Ep. 533
Julie B. Hughes ran her first ultra marathon, the historic JFK 50 Mile, and discovered it felt a lot like writing a book: a solitary act of courage that only becomes possible because of the community cheering you forward, one step and one word at a time. A licensed physical therapist, author, and mother of two, Julie founded the Run to Write Community to help others find their footing on the road and on the page when life’s challenges feel overwhelming.
She encourages members to tackle their challenges, believing in the therapeutic nature of storytelling, and her books and poetry inspire readers to approach life’s difficulties with a spirit of curiosity, courage, and faith.
Julie resides in Central New York with her husband and two children.
