This week, I sit down with my sister Brooke from the blog, Female Foodie, but we don't talk much

about food. We actually talk about how she completed an Iron Man, which is a 2.4-mile swim,

114 miles on the bicycle, and then a 26.2 mile full marathon at the end. She went from being

that girl in grade school who absolutely hated the mile run and was one of the last to finish to hearing the words, Brooke Ellison, you are an Iron Man.

I can't wait for you guys to be inspired by her story of overcoming obstacles and even people who doubted her and relive her experience training for and completing an Iron Man.

You guys, I'm here with my sister, Brooke Elyson, from Female Foodie.

So say hi, Brooke, you guys.

And I am going to be interviewing her.

Well, first I'm just going to introduce her because I feel like, even though I know her really well, you guys might not.

So give us your little like background on who you are, what you're doing with your life, all of that.

Cool. Well, thanks so much for having me. It is an honor to be here. I'm Brooke. I'm your younger sister. I only sister. Your, my, yeah, your favorite sister. My favorite sister. Yeah, I'm just like Corinne from Salt Lake City. We grew up in the same household. And I... Share the bathroom. Yes, we shared a bathroom. And a blow dryer. And a blow dryer. Did we share a blow dryer?

Yes. Yeah. I think we shared a lot of things. There were many wars over the blow dryer.

Yeah. And yeah, so I tell people I'm from Salt Lake, but in reality, I'm kind of living on the road slash homeless right now.

Do you like the word nomad? I think of you as a nomad.

That's probably a better word to say than homeless.

So I married Cody a few years ago in 2015, and he's from Dallas.

And then we lived in Salt Lake for two years, and then in Austin for a year.

And I have a blog called Female Foodieie and I write about different restaurants across the

country and only the best restaurants right only the best restaurants that's a big deal no mediocre

food only like really good places so I started the blog in 2010 but I wasn't like super consistent about it, probably to like 2014.

Okay.

So really like seriously, probably, yeah, about five years now.
