With Coach Liz as co-host, the guests explain: -the prayerful nature of running for Native Americans; -how being a morning runner is especially profound to a member of the Navajo Nation; -the mission to bring light to cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women; -how race organizers and participants can go beyond land acknowledgments; and, -the sense one runner has of her ancestors watching out for her as she runs in nature.
