Summary
Dimity and Sarah talk training and racing, giving answers to questions freshly fielded from the Another Mother Runner Facebook page. The veteran racers give tons of tips about building mental toughness and staying positive in a race. During this discussion, Dimity shares an interesting admission about the final miles of a race. The mother runners offer advice for staying loose on a long, post-race roadtrip, then the talk turns to toenails—black ones. When Dimity and Sarah start talking about how to set realistic time goals and how to train while traveling frequently for biz, they start to get a bit punchy. Quips, laughter, and random asides abound, including rifts on Sarah’s well-honed footwear vocabulary. Starting in the intro chitchat, then woven throughout, are details about the marathon Molly, Sarah’s BRF, just completed. (Spoiler: Molly rawked!)
