Today’s podcast, the first for TrailFit.com, was also done in conjunction with TheFinalSprint.com, the Internet’s premier running, fitness and nutrition publication and a fellow member of the TFS Media Network, and it features an interview with Southern California’s MICHELLE BARTON.  Michelle is an elite ultra-distance and trail runner with an intoxicating love for the sport, eternally positive spirit, and incredible athletic ability. 

These gifts have propelled her to ultra-marathon finish lines, such as the 2006 Orange Curtain 100k, ahead of not only the women but also every male runner in the field.  Most recently, Michelle was victorious at the Holcomb Valley 33 Mile Trail Run on June 10th and then two weeks later had the honor of pacing Gordy Ainsley at the legendary and infamous ultra that he founded: the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run (WS100).
