Eileen Poore is one of the strongest women I've ever met. Sure, she's physically strong - a mother, a marathoner, an ultra-marathoner - but this episode tells a story of mental and spiritual endurance. During this episode we talk about:
- Growing up in New Orleans and working for a famous restaurant
- Her dad's addiction and mom's struggles
- How she decided to go to Michigan State without visiting and despite her hatred of the cold
- Her first marathon (she ran while pregnant and with a broken foot)
- The Boston Marathon
- Bankruptcy
- Her first 50K that was also her first trail run (she finished 3rd female overall)
- Her 2019 sexual assault (7/27/19) and how she made it to the start line of the 2019 Monumental Marathon
- How running has helped her through it all
