Get to the Sunshine
Part of the Life Lessons that Brought Me to the Western States Finish Line series
Laura hated running. Until a series of unexpected events led her to put on a pair of running shoes and complete her first marathon. With those miles, she unknowingly began her evolving journey into ultra marathons. Seven years later she secured a spot in the ultra-marathon world's oldest and most prestigious 100-mile race—the Western States Endurance Run.
Through moments of triumph and defeat, in times of chaos and uncertainty, she fought the most difficult course and conditions she had ever experienced, to prove to herself that she was worthy of having toed the line at Western States.
“Get to the Sunshine” is the story of Laura's relentless drive to reach the Western States finish line, and the life lessons that brought her through the toughest 100 miles of her life. Just when you think you can't do something, life shows up and proves to you that you can.
