Vanessa Runs on Pursuing Her Passions of Running & Writing (Best Of)

On today’s Best Of episode, I’m going back to Episode 11 and my chat with ultra runner Vanessa Runs.

Vanessa talked a lot about the process of taking the leap into a nomadic lifestyle, where she left a corporate job in Toronto to move to San Diego and pursue her passions of running and writing. She shares some great stories about living in an RV with her boyfriend and stopping to run whenever the come across a place that looks interesting.

We obviously talked a lot about her nomadic lifestyle during our run, but we covered a number of other topics as well. Some of the highlights include:

• The process of going from a “normal” life to being a modern day nomad.
• How friends and family reacted to the news.
• The positives and negatives of living in an RV.
• Her first book, Amazon best-seller Summit Seeker, the book she’s working on now, and plans for future books.
• Her experience with Mount Marathon in Seward, Alaska.

If you want to find out more about what Vanessa is doing, feel free to find her in a variety of places online. And don’t be afraid to reach out to her with any questions or comments that you might have, because she is quick to respond and enjoys the interaction.
