We’re beyond excited to introduce our newest Proof PT partner and ultrarunner, who’s taking on one of the most iconic challenges out there: the Sedona Canyons 125. 🏜️✨
Laramie's journey from “I hated running” to four marathons, two ultras, and now a 125-mile adventure is nothing short of inspiring — and we’ve been honored to help her stay strong, resilient, and frolicking through the woods along the way.
Check out her story below… it’s a good one. 👇 .magical.mile

Hey there! Welcome to my journey!
A little about me - I was never a runner. I despised running. As soon as I was not forced to run, I didn't.
Fast forward well over a decade. My coworker suggested that we run a half marathon together, so we signed up and started to train. Quickly I absolutely fell in love with running; the rhythmic meditation of movement, the solitude of nature, and the feeling of myself get stronger with every mile. I soon was running double digits miles and, one over excited evening in late December, signed up for a full marathon well before I ever completed my half.
Within that same week, I went out for my typical long run and started to feel achy pain on the side of my knee. I figured it would work itself out and pushed forward another couple of miles. The pain became sharper and sharper until I ended up in tears and hobbling to a stop and called my husband to come pick me up. Lo and behold, I had given myself ITBS (iliotibial band syndrome) and could barely walk for days after. I searched for a physical therapist and prayed that I did not ruin my ability to run my races in just a few weeks.
Enter Proof Physical Therapy. I got to work with Dr. Jordan and Amanda and slowly, but steadily, was able to strengthen my muscles and retrain my body to run more efficiency and prevent injury. Soon was running faster and with more confidence than I had before my injury.
