This is a Sandy Boy Productions Podcast.

Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hein.

I'm your host Lindsay and I'm so grateful you are here today.

This is a podcast where I interview professional runners and everyday runners and today I am talking with professional runner Josette Norris.

She is sponsored by Reebok and she's about to compete in the 5,000 meters at the Olympic trials.

Josette has been having a breakthrough spring season.

She got her Olympic trials qualifier back in February when she ran a 15-19, 5,000 meters.

And then she had her first professional win in the 1,500 at the Drake Relays.

And then recently at the sound running meet back in May, she ran a 14-51 for the 5,000 meters and took second place in that race.

Lastly she competed in a 1,500 just a couple weeks ago where she ran a 406 and she is fit and ready to go.

She's got her mental game ready to go as well for this race at the trials.

And I am so excited to see what she does.

Josette is going to share her story about getting to where she is now and what the transition from high school runner to collegiate runner to professional runner looked like.

And it definitely encouraged me to stick to what I'm passionate about and keep working hard and getting after what I love to do.

And I think that you'll all take that from this conversation as well.

Before we get started talking with Josette, I want to thank Picky Bars for supporting this episode of The Podcast.

Real food for big performances.

I actually just ordered the multi-variety pack myself and had them shipped to Florida where we were staying because we needed some easy beach snacks.

And guess what? All of my kids like Picky Bars.

I feel so good that they are getting a balanced snack in their diet and I'm also getting a balanced snack in my own diet that feels me for working hard, being active and feeling good.

Beyond the Picky Bars, they're energy bars.

They also have performance granola, performance oatmeal, performance pancakes, and do not sleep on the drizzle.
