255. Sally McRae, Ultra Runner
Welcome Sally McRae AKA Yellow Runner back to Hurdle! We're celebrating, because this week Sally adds "author" to her impressive multi-hyphenate with her new book, Choose Strong. She talks to me about what that title means to her, reflecting on a journey that's been filled with #hurdlemoments — from growing up in an emotionally and physically abusive household and losing her mom to cancer to working multiple jobs. She also talks to me about her experience at the Cocodona 250, an ultra-marathon in which she navigated injury from mile-7 onward, and what resilience means to her. Plus: How she's planning to bounce back before her next ultra in Tahoe in just over a month, and what other fun things we can expect from her content moving forward.
