Episode 70: Lindsey Sexton on Cancer, 100 Miles & the Reminder to Keep Going
by Nikki Parnell — November 12, 2021
This week we have a super inspiring story shared by Lindsey Sexton – an ultra runner, a mom of three, a school nurse, a preschool/elementary school cross-country coach, and a recent cancer survivor and 100 mile finisher!
Lindsey decided to tackle No Business 100 this October (jumping to 100 miles from only running a 50k prior, because why waste any time if she knew ultimately she wanted to run a 100?!). Her training was interrupted however by a devastating breast cancer diagnosis and a double mastectomy. It was an emotional time and surgery required recovery and restricted movement but she was able to continue training (doing a 30 mile run 5 weeks post op)! Lindsey took us through No Business 100 – from the emotional start line, to all the beauty of the course, to the foot trauma and toe juice, to the even more emotional finish line. Her story is a testament to how we can carry ourselves through hard things, find the silver linings even amidst the bumps we hit along our life journeys and the hope we can find if we just keep going.
