In this episode of the Rambling Runner Podcast we are joined by the wonderful Danielle Turk-Bly. It was an honor to have Danielle on the show as she is a 2:47 marathoner, accomplished yoga instructor and owner of Lunar Lotus Yoga, home-schooling mother of three boys, and high-level junior alpine skier. She also just successfully finished Des Linden's Run Destober. This grueling challenge involved running a mile for each calendar date in October, ending with 31 miles on October 31. That's 496 miles in total with 196 in the final week. Simply incredible. Danielle was a bigtime skier as a youngster. She only ran for one year in high school and not at all in college. After her second son was born she really dedicated herself to the sport and fount amazing results. In fact, after several years she found herself within earshot of an Olympic Trials Qualifying time. In the years between those skiing and childbirth Danielle battled a crushing eating disorder. It was a battle she nearly lost. Today she is not only a sub-elite runner with even bigger visions and goals ahead but she is also high-level yoga practioner. We also talk about how has positively impacted her running and her life. This is a topic we haven't discussed much on the show and it was eager to dive-in. You can learn more about Danielle at www.instagram.com/runnellyrun.
