This is the story of my first ever DNF — and wow, did it come with a plot twist (and a few acrobatics).

At the Stone Cat 50 Miler, my brain told me to turn around before I even started… and maybe I should’ve listened 😅

The first loop was absolute chaos: pitch black trails, leaves hiding every rock and root, and me falling five times (including twice on my head) and rolling my ankle seven times — all in the first 13.4 miles.

But here’s the thing: my endurance was solid, my gear was flawless (shoutout to the Puma Deviate 2s and my Salomon Sense Pro 10 vest), and I didn’t quit. I made the right call when my body was banged up and the cutoff was slipping away.

DNFs aren’t failures — they’re part of the story. And this one taught me more about grit, humility, and why I should probably invest in a headlamp upgrade.

🎥 In this episode, I break down:

• What went wrong (and what went really wrong)

• The moment I knew I had to stop

• Why I’m still proud of this race

• What I’m doing differently next time

Because sometimes the hardest runs are the ones that teach you the most.

👟 Gear I used:

• Shoes: Puma Deviate 2

• Vest: Salomon Sense Pro 10

Hey friends — it’s me, Julianna, here to talk about something every runner faces but no one likes to admit… the mid-run emergency poop break. 😅

In this very real and slightly ridiculous episode, I’m reviewing my favorite cold-weather gear of all time: the TrailHeads Convertible Zip Mitts. These mitts have seen things — and I mean that literally. They’ve kept my hands warm, my fingers free, and my dignity (mostly) intact through countless winter miles and a few crappy situations. 💩🙈

That zip-open top? Total game-changer. Warmth when you need it, dexterity when nature calls.
If you’ve ever fumbled through frozen fingers or sprinted for a trailhead bathroom, this episode’s for you.

👉 Watch now to see why these mitts are my cold-weather MVPs.
