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.

Hi, I’m Michele Hartwig!
I’m a 58-year-old business owner and the heart behind Ornery Mule Racing (OMR) — a trail and ultrarunning community that hosts races on some of the most beautiful trails around.
Like so many of us, I’ve found it’s easy to get caught up in life’s responsibilities and forget to care for myself. That’s why I’m on a journey to embrace being unapologetically me — living with joy, balance, and self-acceptance.
On my channel, I love chatting with inspiring friends about trail running, ultrarunning, adventures, and staying fit at all ages. We can all learn from one another, and I hope these conversations spark motivation and connection.
I’d love to connect with you in real life — whether it’s on the trail, at an OMR race, or through the stories we share. ♥
In this episode of Run Glow Repeat with Michele Hartwig, we celebrate the incredible journey of Bryan Komas. Bryan recently finished the Midwest States 100k—just four years after facing Stage 3 rectal cancer, Stage 1 bladder cancer, and a brain tumor diagnosis.
When you meet Bryan, you immediately feel his deep respect for life and the people around him. His story is one of resilience, gratitude, and determination—a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.
It has been an absolute honor getting to know Bryan and learning more about the perspective he brings to running and to life. We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation as much as we did. 💚🌲
