Grit, Resilience, and Determination Defines Sika Henry
The term resilience means to become stronger or healthy after something terrible happens, but the word resilience may not be adequate to describe Sika Henry. In 2019 she suffered a traumatic bike accident that would have ended all career goals for most people. However, through grit and determination, Sika defied the odds and traveled a road to recovery.
The Running Spouse
I could start with “What is a military spouse?” but I would soon be running (no pun intended) out of space.

They will have to say the following, “Be careful, and I will miss you, and I love you.”

Ultramarathons: The Epic Adventure
Sarah has an attraction to the ultramarathons. “I love the unknown of longer races. I love to adventure and explore. Running an ultramarathon is a great excuse to explore nature and participate in an epic adventure. I love the balance required in ultras of staying in the moment (particularly on technical trails) while also thinking to the later stages of the race and making sure you are expending energy and fueling/hydrating in a way that will be sustainable.”
