Summary
For every mother worried she might have to forgo athletic goals due to parenting demands, this episode is for you! In this heartwarming, inspiring episode, hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton talk with two mothers who were able to pursue their marathon goals thanks, in part, to a generous grant from For All Mothers+. (Psst, the application deadline is June 10!) One momma completed her first marathon, while the other guest qualified for the Olympic Marathon Trials (!). In the episode:
-both runners detail how their marathon dreams became reality
-one mom’s journey from watching the Olympic Marathon Trials on TV to qualifying for them
-the importance of the word “and” for women
-how running became therapy for a single mom
-the sweet finish-line surprise that awaited the first-time marathoner
Before the first guest joins around 12:25, the co-hosts gab about a recent sporty getaway.
