Summary
Sarah and Molly catch up with Chris McDougall, author of the acclaimed book Born to Run, who talks about running with a donkey (!!), the topic of his just-out book, Running with Sherman. Lots of laughs, plus talk of:
-the joy and fun of running with animals;
-the growing popularity of burro racing;
-the status of the film version of Born to Run; and,
-the barefoot running craze.
In the introduction, Sarah and Molly talk about meditation and Sarah’s debut #SportsBraSquad run. Chris hops in at 9:20.
Please note: The word “ass” (aka “donkey”) gets bandied about a lot on this episode.
