028: Let’s Run With Kristin Stokes

We're heading northwest and we chat with Kristin Stokes, who just ran her first ultra race on a road/trail hybrid that was a test to her mental and physical will. But its the start of her running journey that surprised me the most, which was being diagnosed with MS at the young age of 22. Despite that, her dad said "let's get running" and what started as a 5k turned into a marathon several months later and she hasn't looked back. In fact, she's BQ'd twice and hit the podium in several races. She's an amazing runner and a testament to getting over hurdles and not letting obstacles hold you back.
