Lily I have never had any inclination to do a marathon let alone an ultra one but I hear you loud and clear on your point about mothers. I’m getting much better at carving time for myself but I see so many of my friends almost disappearing under the weight of their family responsibilities. It’s a really sad thing for women. Appreciate you banging the drum!
Yes absolutely. It happens in all walks of life, not just in running. Women really need to stop feeling guilty and men need to be their allies. I'm very fortunate that I have a family that support my interests and the confidence to step away from them and do my own thing.

Agree! But it only happens if you go out and take that time. I feel like too many of us are waiting to be given permission.
Exactly! Seize the day and don't wait for permission!
