Here are what readers are saying…

Julie’s dedication to running and family is fierce. Not wanting to sacrifice time away from her family, she shows how it’s possible to still pursue her goal of completing the JFK 50 Mile, and she shares what she has learned along the way in this very insightful and inspiring book.

— Felicia Case, JFK finisher

The JFK 50 Mile is more than miles on a map—it’s a journey of the mind and heart. In Miles of Meaning, Julie reminds us that resilience is not the absence of doubt, but the choice to keep moving through it. Her stories prove that the human spirit, fueled by courage and positivity, can carry us farther than we ever imagined—on the trail, and in life.

—Katie Lowe, JFK 50 Communications Director, three-time JFK 50 Mile Finisher and counting

The JFK 50 medal signifies so much more than completing the race. The journey to get ready for an Ultra Marathon requires the type of discipline, determination, family support, and grit that very few people are willing to commit to. In this memoir, you’ll discover how these principles can revolutionize your approach to any big goal—business, relationships, or personal growth.

— Billy Rudd

Julie’s engaging writing truly encapsulates the grit and dedication required to successfully complete the JFK 50 Mile. The attention to detail in race preparation and the race itself provides a credible resource for future ultramarathon runners.

— Quinn Rundgren, JFK runner, 2LT US Army

Julie lays her heart bare in her brilliantly captured journey of training for, and finishing, the JFK 50 Mile Ultramarathon. Through grit, laughter, injury, tears, and determination, she draws the reader into what it feels like to be a true champion. Grab your tissues and be prepared to cheer.
