Aysha Staha

Favorite Running or Racing Experience: 

Mckenzie River Trail. Takes my breath away every time I’m there.

Favorite Place to Run: 

All over our local trails, the PCT, and new dirt when traveling.

Favorite post-run eats/drinks: 

I’m a sucker for smoothie bowls from RAW and a cup of coffee

What do you enjoy doing when you're not running? 

Drinking coffee, mountain biking, skiing, loosely planned adventures with my husband and daughters.

You can only have one song on your running playlist.  What is it? 

Do I have to pick just one?

Dream race or running adventure: 

Grand Canyon, Laugavegur Ultra in Iceland, hiking the Oregon PCT with my family

Current running kicks? 

Nike Terra Kiger

What does the Woodlands Endurance Team mean to you? 

To be part of a bigger running community and encouraging others gives me such joy! We live in such a beautiful place and are so lucky to have access to this playground.

Your 2021 Race Calendar (What/when/where are you planning to run or race?): 

SOB 50k, Tough as Nails, anything else I can squeeze in :)

Anything else we should know about you? 

I’m learning to enjoy the process that trail running is teaching me. It’s more about taking the time to stop and look around than getting to the finish line.
