Hiking + Trail Running Adventures with Three Women

Anyone who likes trail running—or is interested in exploring hiking after their running career—this is an episode for you. Special guest host Dimity McDowell talks with three women who recently joined her in northern Minnesota to take on the Grand Traverse, a multi-distance trail event. The conversations include how:

-one woman found grace for herself with not being able to run as she'd hoped;

—one a trail runner uncovered the courage to tackle trails solo;

—the unexpected heat grounded one woman; and,

—doing something challenging, especially as you get older, is always a great call.
