Michele Pettinger and I were introduced by a former boss of mine. She's on a big comeback and aiming to qualify for Boston at CIM and have her name drawn in the lottery for Western States this December.
During this episode, sponsored by Previnex, we talk about:
How we connected through someone I used to work for that she grew up with - thank you, Scott Miller!
The fact that she grew up in a house with runners which is how she found the sport
Making her way from the Midwest to California
Training for and running her first marathon in San Diego after college
How she ran a marathon before running a half marathon
Starting P3Running in 2009 to coach other runners
Deciding to do her first ultra marathon
Her Western States journey and how many tickets she’s racked up without getting her name drawn for the race
Getting hit by a car during a 20 mile run
Chasing a BQ for every decade she can - next attempt is CIM in December
