In this very special episode of Runnah, I flip the mic on myself to kick off our first-ever series on running with chronic illness. I am talking about real-deal stuff like IBD-C, colon surgery, GI blockages, rectopexy (Google it... or maybe don’t), and how she learned to calculate port-o-potties per mile like a pro.

This isn’t about glossy, perfect miles—it’s about the messy, gritty, deeply human ones. I share how I chucked perfection in the "f*ck-it bucket," laced up, and found joy on the run again.

If you’ve ever run with a diagnosis, a flare-up, or just a whole lot going on—this one’s for you. 💛

I am planning a mini-series on this topic, and I really want to hear from you! Got a story about running with a chronic illness or invisible struggle? Send it to runnahpod@gmail.com and if I get enough, I’ll do a whole episode reading and celebrating your stories.
