Running has been a steady presence in Vicki Hunter's life since she was an early teen. Running began as a way to find calm through the challenges of youth, and developed into an arena of competitive challenge, on the roads and then the trails. Among her many accomplishments as a competitive runner, Hunter qualified for the 1988 Olympic Trials Marathon. Running also became integral to Hunter's healing journey after a horrific accident, which happened when she was pregnant with her first child.\nNow 63, Hunter continues to be fueled by competitive running, but her relationship to that pursuit has changed over time. Running pain free is a companion central focus, along with running fast.\xa0\nHunter tells her whole story on the podcast: the beautiful moments and terrific difficulties, the growth and the challenges. Her thoughtfulness and wisdom shine through, looking back over her decades in the sport.\xa0\nHunter also shares her running story embedded in her recently released memoir: Running and Returning: Seeking Balance in an Imperfect World.\xa0\nKeep Up with Vicki Hunter\nInstagram: @thevickihunter\nWebsite: vforcepro.com\nLink to Hunter's book, Running and Returning: vforcepro.com/books\nListen to Unexpected Curves, Hosted by Marielle Hall\nApple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unexpected-curves/id1750120522\nSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/3sx2j12qArDW5uJ9NoO9ks\nSupport Our Supporters\nLagoon Pillows: lagoonsleep.com/WRS15\nUse the discount code WRS15 for 15% off your first order\nTo support WRS, please rate and review the show\niTunes/Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa\nMusic Credits\nCormac O'Regan, of Playtoh\npenguinmusic, via Pixabay\nComa-Media, via Pixabay\nRomanBelov, via Pixabay\nRoyaltyFreeMusic, via Pixabay\nSergePavkinMusic, via Pixabay\nLid\xe9rc Bell, via\xa0Pixabay\nWays to Connect and Engage with Women's Running Stories\nOver 50, Sub 20, 5k Project Instagram: @over50sub20_5k_project\nWRS Instagram: @womensrunningstories\nFacebook: facebook.com/WomensRunningStories\nWebsite: womensrunningstories.com\nEmail host Cherie: clouiseturner@gmail.com\nWomen's Running Stories is a proud member of the Evergreen network: https://evergreenpodcasts.com/\nLearn more about your ad choices.
