On September 21, 2002, Eliza's life changed completely. On that day, as a high school soccer player sitting on the bench watching her teammates run up and down the field, she decided to start running more to get in better shape. With her first few steps and then her first few days of running, “Za”, as her friends and family call her, did not know how much running would transform her life. She has run each day since then. While she did not start out running with the intention to begin a running streak, she has now run for over 19 straight years without missing a day. Through her running, she developed a daily practice of taking the time out each day to connect with herself. Za has continued to run every day through injuries, illness, pregnancies, travel, and weather conditions. On this podcast she will share with you how you too can develop a similar discipline and dedication to connect with yourself through all types of situations. Eliza has built her “Daily Run With Za” brand into a coaching and yoga program that helps people achieve their goals. She can help inspire daily motivation within yourself, develop discipline to create more focus in your life and create a journey of transformation.
