    Welcome back to Solo Strides.

    In Episode 26, I pick up right where the last chapter left off—but this time, we’re not talking about the break…

    We’re talking about what happens when you finally find your rhythm again… and then lose it just as fast!

    This episode takes you into the Crazy Mountains of Montana, where a single moment on the trail turned into something much bigger than a fall. Through raw audio, real-time frustration, and a moment where another runner stops to check on me mid-race, you’ll hear exactly what makes the ultra running community what it is — people who show up for each other, even when they don’t know your name.

    We get into what it feels like when running—something that becomes part of who you are — gets taken away again… and how quickly “I missed a run” can turn into “Who am I without it?”

    But more importantly, this episode is about the shift that came from it all.

    Learning when to stop pushing…
     and finally start listening.

    Because sometimes the lesson isn’t found in the miles you run —
     it’s in the moments that force you to slow down.

    So lace up, press play, and let’s put one foot in front of the other together.
