Meg Eckert, a native of Spring, Texas, began her running career seven years ago.
In that time, she has won a number of long-distance races.
Over the New Year's weekend this year, she set the course record for female runners at the Snowdrop 55-hour event, running 100 miles in 16 hours and 6 minutes.
She went on to complete 218.87 miles in hours - another record.
The middle-school special education teacher, who now lives in Santa Fe, NM., likes a combination of road and trail races, but likes mountain trails.
She is super upbeat and generous as a runner.
