Which is exactly the effect running has had on Sarah. Sarah came into running later in life after being inspired by a Runner World magazine and a distant relative she was exposed to on a family vacation. That moment in time was enough to spark something inside of her which had Sarah adding "Run a Marathon" to her bucket list. Sarah is also a member of the US Snowshoe Running team and competed in the World Snowshoe Champs in Italy in December 2018. Which is kinda funny given Sarah used to hate winter and actively moved across the US to warmer climates to avoid it.
