Summary
We all have multiple identities - Mom, brother, friend, scientist, comedian, bowler, runner, writer, etc. Some of these identities come by choice, by chance or forced upon us. They may change over time too. We are the sum of these identities. They help us learn and grow. We should celebrate them in our own lives and within those around us. One of the best parts of trail running is to learn about the identities of others on a run.
In this episode we talk to Kim Strom. We learn about some of her identities:
- Running model (appearing on the cover of Trail Runner Magazine more than any other person)
- A Photographer
- A Writer
- A Trail Runner
- Her newest identity - cancer patient
