Welcome to AMR Trains, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports. I'm

Dimmity McDowell, co-founder of another mother runner. I don't know about you, but

my kids have plenty of time on their hands these days. School is out, most activities

are canceled or severely cut back, and well let's just say there isn't a ton of

self-motivated movement going on unless it's with their thumbs on a screen. So one question we're often asked that another mother-runner is how to get

kids interested in running and how to make it a somewhat enjoyable experience so they want to keep

doing it. In order to get some answers and

perspectives on that question we've brought in three generations of runners in

the same family. Jane S. B. Katie Ogles B. and Abby Oglesby. Jane is the mother and grandmother, a 74-year-old who lives on

Santa Bell Island in Florida. Katie is the mother and daughter who is 48 in a massage therapist and she was also my partner in a swim run three years ago and she lives outside Denver and Abby Oglesby is the daughter and granddaughter. She's 21 and ran cross country and

track at Mesa University, a Division 2 school in Grand Junction, Colorado, a

former high school swimmer she's currently transitioning to the triathlon team at Mesa for her senior year.

I am so excited to have all three of you here together.

Well, thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks for having us.

I know. So you guys are all, give us a little background, you Katie and Abby live in Colorado, but you came down to Florida to get a little

sun and make sure everyone's good.

Yeah, I mean, I have not been working and the kids were having a hard time finding a summer job, so we just decided to go see grandma.

I love it. Okay, well well so let's start with your running

beginnings. I want you to take us each back to the days when you first

started running. So Jane at age 74 you were clearly running before it was the cool trendy thing to do.
