Description

As part of Heart Month, Sarah and Ellison pull up chairs with two in-studio mother runners who have each had heart surgery. (Both named Sarah!) Marvel as:
-Sarah Foster recounts running the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim eight months after getting a pacemaker for a cardiac arrhythmia;
-Sarah Phelan tells how she qualified for and ran the 2014 Boston Marathon after having open-heart surgery to fix an aneurysm;
-both women detail how much more perseverance they have post-surgery; and,
-both women highlight the importance of paying attention to symptoms.
Sarah and Ellison talk books (natch!), including The Awakening by Kate Chopin and Long Bright River by Liz Moore, before the first Sarah-guest joins at 9:42.

This weekly podcast explores the intersection of running and mothering; it was launched in 2011 by the authors of RUN LIKE A MOTHER: HOW TO GET MOVING AND NOT LOSE YOUR FAMILY, JOB, OR SANITY. Host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating coterie of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to the value of a best running friend, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: These mother runners cover it all (and then some). This witty, conversational podcast makes a great running partner because these gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
