Shelly Bush lives in northern Utah and is a mom to two boys, a wife, and works for a local school district. In her youth, Shelly hated to run, avoiding it all costs by participating in sports that didn’t require running. Things changed for Shelly at the age of 35 when she was inspired at the finish line of the St. George Marathon, causing her to start running and change her life. Shelly tells us how her life was turned upside down by bankruptcy and divorce, and how running was a part of the ups and downs of life. Running provided Shelly clarity, strength and endurance in life and running, and she tells us how her running community was an integral part to this. We learn how Shelly’s one and only marathon went and how an active and healthy lifestyle is a priority for her family. Shelly challenges us to put ourselves in situations where we can be inspired, to lose your excuses, and to adapt to life.
