Now she's coming 7 p.m. Tuesday to to talk about some of her adventures.

Those adventures include ultramarathons in Australia, 325-mile river swims and a run across a desert.

Spotz's presentation is free to attend. It was funded by the Friends of the Mentor Public Library.

However, the library asks that people register for the event, either on its website or by calling 440-255-8811 ext. 221 or 248.
