Summary
This is the episode for anyone who has ever felt like an imposter at a race or who struggles to declare they’re a runner. Sarah and Ellison talk with a researcher, plus two real-life mother runners, addressing issues like:
-ways to get comfortable calling yourself a runner;
-why self-identifying as a runner boosts exercise adherence;
-how a health scare made one gal jump on the exercise train;
-the ways being a single parent stripped one woman of her athletic identity; and,
-how one guest is trying to get over her “imposter syndrome.”
In a freshly recorded intro (interview portion of ep originally dropped in 9/19), Sarah shares a funny shoe story and Katie talks up her newest athletic passion. The convo with the first guest starts at 16:08.

| 0:31.0 | chitchat by Katie Snevice. Hello, Katie. Hi, Sarah. How are you? I am good. I'm good. |
| 0:36.4 | We're doing something new with this episode. It's the meat of the episode is a repeat |
| 0:44.0 | from September 2019 with Ellison in the co-host chair, but I decided to freshen things up |
| 0:49.2 | and have a July 2022 conversation with you to make it seem a little new. |
| 0:58.0 | I think that's smart, right? That's the Mother Runner way to do it. We're going to improve |
| 1:04.0 | older content. Or it's like serving leftovers, but you know, making a really special salad |
| 1:09.9 | to go with it. Exactly. And like, wow, thanks for cooking, and they have no idea. |

| 1:38.9 | two days ago. Loved them. You said they were the best things ever. How in 48 hours can |
| 1:43.4 | they be so disgusting? I don't understand. So after many years of arguing about it, they |
