Read MoreE99 Sherry: Crazy Mother Runners→
/
Sherry is the type of person you want to do your long run with. The mom of 4 found running in college to reduce anxiety and stress and it became her medicine and therapy. As a mother, running gave her a space to create a community with other moms, which eventually turned into the instagram account @crazy_mother_runners.
We go off on all sorts of tangents including marriage, motherhood, hormones and friendships. Sherry is both fun and inspiring.
