When Gretchen was in her early 30's she was all settled. She was married with a condo, had a solid career, and loving road races.  Everything looked great until she was stopped in her tracks by an autoimmune disease that depletes the bodies platelets. A year later, her husband left her. After a few hard years she found the trails and knew it was the place for her. She now has multiple 100 mile finishes including 4th female at Teanaway Country 100, and has recently started her own business Walla Trails, where she offers training camps and events for trail runners.
