Summary
In October 2020, Makenna Myler made headlines when a viral video showed her running a mile in 5 minutes and 25 seconds. Those numbers would be impressive for anyone—but Makenna did it just 10 days before giving birth to her first child. Still, her running time isn't the only thing Makenna is excited about; it's her opportunity to shine a positive light on motherhood and wellness in pregnancy. On this week’s episode, Makenna shares what she has discovered about the sometimes surprising role of God’s plan as we pursue our hopes and dreams.
“He connects the dots differently than you would.”

| 0:00.0 | 6 million people have watched the moment on TikTok when McKinna Miler ran the |
| 0:05.7 | mile in five minutes and 25 seconds 10 days before giving birth to her first |
| 0:10.9 | child. That is faster than most of us will ever dream of running the mile and |
| 0:15.6 | she did it with a baby just about ready to come out into the world growing |
| 0:19.4 | inside of her. But what people don't know is that for years McKinna wondered why |
| 0:24.7 | she had put so much time and effort into running when that video went viral it |
| 0:30.3 | all started to make sense. McKinna Miler competed in track and filled for |
| 0:36.2 | BYU from 2011 to 2014. In June just seven months after having her baby she |

| 0:49.4 | track and filled trials in Eugene organ. Her recent success earned her a |

| 1:20.5 | today. McKinna welcome. Thanks Morgan. I'm happy to be here. Well this is |
| 1:25.3 | exciting because probably a lot of people that listen to this podcast will they |
| 1:30.9 | may not recognize your name but once we start talking about who you are and |
| 1:34.9 | what you've done over the past year I think a lot of people have heard about |
| 1:39.1 | you. McKinna ran a five minute and 25 second mile 10 days before giving birth to |
| 1:48.0 | her first child hats off to you. It's unbelievable. So my first question for you |
