'I was just somebody who loved to run': 100-mile world-record breaker shares her story

ST. GEORGE — Ashley Paulson has made headlines for the past decade, from running 9 miles to the hospital to give birth to her fourth child, winning big at the Deseret News Marathon, to starring in a reality TV endurance challenge. Her most recent accomplishment had her breaking a world record for the fastest 100 miles run by a female. [ completing the distance in 12:19.34. This works out to be 7 minutes and 21 seconds per mile. ]

Over the years, Paulson has, no doubt, had some big moments. To her, however, it's the little things that have made the biggest difference.

"I just celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary," she told KSL. "I'm a mother of four ... and I've recently become a grandma. ... I wanted to be a mom and wife. That's always been my goal. I have that, and I want to hold on to that. "

Paulson, who is one of 11 children, said she grew up watching her dad run marathons. She ran her first marathon with her sister at age 19 and described being "hooked" ever since.

"Toeing that line, I was ecstatic. I was with my sister — my best friend. I was just bouncing up and down. I started to sing the song, '21 Bottles of Beer on the Wall' (to count down the miles). She and I are very different. I thrive off of energy. She thrives off of quiet. I felt really good that whole time. We finished just over four hours. I had so much fun that day. I was running with my best friend and running toward my fiancé at the finish line. I was hooked. It was a great day," she said.
