Summary
Grace Gonzales is one of the founding members of Angel City Elite which is a women’s distance running team based in Los Angeles. The group and it’s mission were set in motion after the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials and then accelerated after the events that sparked the social justice movement later that year. Reflecting together, each member mutually agreed on feeling little resemblence of self within the running community and wanted to create a shift of awareness and inclusion. Running has long represented opportunity, connection, vitality, and growth and the thought that members of any community would feel barred from experiencing all that this sport has to offer in unjustifiable. Angel City Elite came into motion as a collaborative effort of female elite runners looking to make a statement of representation in the running community while chasing both their athletic and personal potentials.
Grace ran at the Olympic Trials in 2020. She has a 2:41:56 marathon PR. When we had this conversation in February, she had just raced another marathon and we talk about how that went and what that meant to her. She has also had a big job change this year!

| 0:00.0 | This is a Sandy Boy Productions Podcast. |
| 0:18.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hein. |
| 0:23.0 | I'm your host Lindsay and I'm so grateful you're here today. |
| 0:26.0 | This podcast is part of the Sandy Boy Productions Podcast Network. A little |
| 0:30.1 | network I started a couple years ago that I'm super proud of. You should go |
| 0:36.0 | check out our new website, SandyBoyProductions.com. Get signed up for our weekly |
| 0:41.0 | newsletter where we send out the show notes and I don't know if you know this but |
| 0:45.5 | I also host a podcast for parents called Why is Everyone Yelling? Perhaps you've |
| 0:52.1 | said that before if you are a parent. But the episode this week I just wanted |
| 0:56.9 | to share here real quick. It's really good. It is with Julie Lithcott Haynes and |
| 1:02.2 | this is a guest I've really wanted to have the show on that show for a while. |

| 1:20.8 | I kind of want to try that episode that that podcast this might be a good |
| 1:24.9 | place to start. It's just so it's called Why is Everyone Yelling? All right friends |
| 1:29.4 | I want to give a shout out to Parker Stinson for being so vulnerable on the |
| 1:35.3 | episode last week and sharing about his diagnosis with bipolar disorder. I |
| 1:39.8 | know that that has helped several people and I just I don't take it for |
| 1:45.1 | granted when an athlete comes on this show and really shows vulnerability and |
| 1:50.9 | share something that's really meaningful and important and hard in their |
| 1:55.0 | lives. I don't take that lightly and I just really just want to give him some |
