You’ve heard of bears, moose, and maybe even the occasional skunk sighting on a run...But have you ever been chased by a woodchuck? 🫠

In this episode, I’m telling the wild (and slightly ridiculous) story of how a peaceful 10-mile road run turned into a full-tilt downhill sprint—with a woodchuck in hot pursuit.

We’re talking:

• The exact moment I realized I was being chased
• What went through my head mid-sprint (hint: it includes ER scenarios)
• A truckload of witnesses and a yellow lab 🛻
• My post-woodchuck escape plan
• And why this encounter did not happen on the trails (important PSA!)

PLUS:
Why you shouldn't let this story scare you away from trail running...
And how you can get in on a future episode with your own weird/funny/crazy wildlife story from a run. I want to hear them all!

🎧 LISTEN IN to hear about:

• The fastest I’ve ever run without meaning to
• What I learned about woodchuck top speeds
• Why this is now my #1 craziest wildlife encounter
• And how I managed to escape without a scratch (or a ride back up the hill)
