Summary
Dimity talks to two women who each recently ran 50K on their own because of COVID-19: Kelli Anderson, a stay-at-home mom of two in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, and Lora Morgan, a veterinarian and stepmother of one in Jackson, Georgia.
Tune in to learn:
—How Lora got through the miles going back and forth on her long, dirt-road driveway;
—Why Kelli set up her aid station in the garage, not in her house;
—The helpful beauty of doing the exact same lap again and again;
—And how both of them got through the rough spots of a long, long day.
