A podcast dedicated to Native Indigenous Runners who are running all across this land. We will heal stories from fellow Native runners who run not only for competition but for prayer, ceremony and healing.
Episode 8 - Verna NezBegay, Founder of Native Women Running and her journey to 100 miles
Join me for a short podcast of my almost 100 miler, to be exact it was 94 miles, not 96 miles. As a runner, I don't run to be faster or push for higher mileage. Running has been something that has helped me run in honor of those who I love. My parents and three siblings all have passed away, so I dedicate my running to them. Running has been a healing journey for me. Thank you for listening.
