Following Lisa and Julie's recap of their 10 year celebration in which they provide ten lessons learned over the last decade, they welcomed Phil Stewart to the podcast.  Phil is both a running and race management legend, both in the DC area as well as on the national and international stage. Phil has been the Event Director for the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run, the premier springtime running event in Washington, DC, since 1991. He is arguably one of the nation’s experts on road race management, and is the editor and publisher of the Road Race Management newsletter, as well as the co-author of Organizing Running Events: The Complete Guide to Staging a Successful Road Race. 
Before he became a race director, Phil was, and still is, an accomplished distance runner. He has run the Boston Marathon 24 times, the first time in 1975, where he finished in 2:19:58, qualifying him for the 1976 Olympic Trials. He returned in 1977 to finish 15th overall. Phil has run Boston every decade of his life since those first races, and will return this year to compete for the first time in his 70’s.
