My guest @megbie growing up, exercise and Megan did not mix. Her friends used to invite her on trails at the time and she could not bring herself to even attempt it. She felt it better to stick to her “typical” asian upbringing, focusing on education and getting a great start on her career as a lawyer. The stress of this career would catch up to her and after some time took a toll on her mental state. Needing a change in her life to hopefully change the trajectory of her life, the next time her friends invited her on a hike, she begrudgingly accepted. One of the first experiences she had with hiking was the many steps to Lion Rock in Hong Kong. The view and feeling of reaching the end was the spark Megan needed to to start her fitness journey. From here, she began ultra trail running around the globe in places like Peru, Canary Islands, Japan, and Korea to name a few. In 2019, Megan was diagnosed with breast cancer, and sadly a second diagnosis in 2021. This made Megan have to readjust and take a step back from ultra running for some time. Rather than allowing this obstacle to derail her life, she used it as a way to recenter her mind and discover more about herself. She left her career to pursue her passion of teaching and speaking. Megan hopes to inspire others with her story and give them the kick start they need to keep pushing forward. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ray-zaragoza/message

In 1983 she migrated to US and has been happily living here since then. When She was a kid she was always involved in sports, mostly playing basketball, but in 1978 when she was 13 her older brother died in a tragedy, her heart and soul were broken, she desperately wanted to grieve and she began running in the morning, She didn’t have a clue what she was doing. Every time when she used to run some miles in the streets people would teased her. In 1991 she ran her first LA Marathon, that was the day she felt she belonged to this country, running was her language, her culture, her identity. She hasn’t stopped running since 1978, in the almost 43 years of her running journey she is always looking for ways to keep getting strong. She has become her kids running trainer, an ultra runner, she’s completed back to back races. Hasn’t been easy? Not all, being the mother of two boys with special needs is very demanding, making time to train is really difficult, but always possible. Learning how to manage her time wisely is a priority, injuries are almost inevitable, but she always looks for ways to train. Her running story is about never giving up, it’s about empowering women of all ages to give their best, it’s to unlabeled a disability because disability is just a word and not a lifestyle, her story is for everyone, her story is to remind us that age is just a number, there’s always room to grow, no matter how young or old we are! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ray-zaragoza/message
