The wear and tear Junkin accrued training for marathons has led to running injuries ranging from the traditional shin splints up to the fracture of her ribs.
But one of Vanessa’s most painful experiences stemmed from being struck by a car while on an evening run late last year.
In this episode, Junkin joins host Earl Holland to discuss that harrowing moment and how the rest of her 2020 running goals were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vanessa will also discuss her experiences as a journalist and how she found an interest in writing.
