Summary
This episode is a mix of reminiscences from Sarah and Dimity about adventures they’ve shared over the 15 years of Another Mother Runner, while answering Kathleen’s question about their bucket-list races (including Sarah’s maybe-one-day marathon). They also address Other Sarah’s question about oddball places they’ve run (nothing rivals her kitchen-island laps!!!) and Heidi’s community query.
The questions get kicked off around 6:31, after Sarah shares her renewed love of running and Dimity talks about her impressive swimming streak. Here’s the black-bean brownie recipe Dimity favors; here’s where to sign up for podcast updates.
