Erin Azar, aka Mrs. Space Cadet, is either the funniest or the wisest runner on Tiktok... or maybe both. She describes herself as an Expert Struggle Runner and Struggle Lifer. She makes the struggle parts of running hilarious and in talking with her I realized she also is like a running Buddha because her humor encompasses the lessons I need to hear every day. We talk about committing to your own progress, the mental load of being a new runner, and what's in her "bad running bag."

This interview was done as research for the book I’m writing about the mental lessons learned and practiced in running and motherhood. I’m sharing these recordings so you can come along in this book writing process with me!
