Dream big, dream beyond what you think is possible, because anything is possible if you choose to put your mind to it. If you choose it, you work it. But do the work. I live by that to this very day.
Imagine running marathons on all seven continents in less than a year. Linda Quirk did just that, and her story is nothing short of extraordinary. On this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu sits down with Linda, a seasoned triathlon and marathon competitor who recently completed the grueling Badwater 135 ultramarathon. But Linda's journey isn't just about crossing finish lines; it's about healing and transformation.
When her stepdaughter struggled with meth addiction, Linda found a unique way to support her recovery—by raising funds for the treatment center that helped her. How? By running marathons across the globe, from the Boston Marathon to the Great Wall of China, and even the Antarctica Marathon. Linda opens up about how endurance sports became her sanctuary, helping her heal both physically and emotionally.
She shares invaluable advice for families of addicts, emphasizing the importance of unconditional love and support without enabling destructive behaviors. Linda's story is a powerful reminder that through resilience and determination, we can turn our greatest challenges into our most significant triumphs. Whether you're an athlete, someone in recovery, or a family member supporting a loved one, Linda's journey offers hope and inspiration for us all.
