Welcome to a special bonus episode of another mother runner. This is Sarah Bo and Shay. And this is Dimmede McDowell. My co-authors? Yes. Speaking to my co-author and this, that's your point of reference for this podcast, right?

Mm-hmm, because we are talking about the Run Like a Mother

audiobook, the audio version of our first book,

which Dimmody, let's, you know, hop in the time machine and go back to fall of 2013 when we recorded it.

That is so funny. I mean I was thinking about that this morning I mean so in in so we we wrote it in 2009, right?

So that's roughly a decade ago.

And like we got T-Ped this morning.

It's Homecoming Week here in Colorado.

And I guess it's a tradition for senior girls

to DP to junior girls.

So that's the first time ever.

So I'm feeling very, you know, very homecoming,

very high school-esque, and Amelia's got a job this weekend but I was like oh my gosh and ten years ago I was worried about like you know potty training right it all comes full circle

It all comes back to toilet paper. Oh my goodness, you better hope it doesn't rain because how miserable...

Yeah, we don't get a lot of rain out here.

Yeah, I think we're going to be okay over the weekend, but yes, I know I'm tempted because it's it to drive into the driveway and have it everywhere

You know there's like that silly string and you know a couple of other things and I'm like not my job not my job I'm not going to leave. Oh boy you need to take a photo and

posted our Instagram or something I need to see this okay it's not it's not a ton it's

actually a pretty light job overall, so it doesn't look super, but maybe I will. We'll see.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so let's go back to the fall of 2013, which I had to ask our then producer when it was exactly because I couldn't even remember.

But so you flew out from Denver to here in Portland for the weekend because our then producer Jonah had assured us had assured us

that we could bang out the recording in two days. Yeah that we kind of realized, wow, that's too ambitious.
