Podcast Description
Hi! My name is Michele Hartwig- I am a 58 year old business owner of Ornery Mule Racing. OMR is a trail & ultrarunning event community that puts on races on beautiful trails. Personally- I am in recovery from years of not loving and caring for myself. My business was thriving, but I was extremely sad and lonely. My drive for perfection in my work, stopped me from taking time to play.
I have spent years working on relearning to run, losing 50 pounds. This was done with teaching myself new healthy habits that supported the person that I wanted to be....the person that I am meant to be.
I have learned to embrace being " unapologetically me". I love to chat about all my running races & adventures, skin care, makeup, health, and fitness. I would love to connect in real life.
