About Me
I am PattyRan, a runner, coach, and writer who has learned that the road can carry us through more than miles.
Running through what life throws at you
Running in Muck began as a place to tell the truth about training, recovery, anxiety, setbacks, and the small wins that keep us moving forward.
I believe every runner has a story. Mine includes muddy trails, finish lines, hard seasons, and the people who remind me that we do not have to do any of it alone.
Why I write
This site is a record of the journey: race reports, practical lessons, product notes, and honest reflections from the middle of real life.
If you are finding your way back to movement, building toward a goal, or simply looking for a little company on the road, you are welcome here.
