E 17: "Don't Be Defined by Your Obstacles; Overcome Them" with Kristi Roach
Manage episode 312250604 series 3230894
It is Urban Bourbon race week here in Louisville! In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Kristi Roach, a fellow Urban Bourbonite to talk about her running journey, which she found "accidentally" after a break-up. She found running was a great way to claim time for herself and then found a running community with Fleet Feet Louisville. Now, she runs because she was told she would not be able to do it by the medical community. What most people don't realize is that Kristi was diagnosed with Gastroparesis and subsequently, Dysautonomia at a young age. These diagnoses require Kristi to approach running in a completely different way than most runners, which includes a permanent IV and TPN nutrition solution. Despite these challenges, Kristi maintains a positive attitude and supports so many other runners in the local running community. Her story will definitely inspire you to live life with no excuses!
