Description

If you’re looking for a momentous race to run or you want increased diversity and representation in running, listen to this episode about the Selma to Montgomery Relayand Bike Ride. Sarah and co-host Ellison talk (and shed a few tears) with the race director and two relay participants about: 
-the origin of the relay that retraces the path civil rights champions tread in 1965; 
-the significance of having a minority majority running event; 
-how folks “party with a purpose” before and after the 51-mile event; 
-relay race logistics; and,
-what it was like to run across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. 
 
Before the first guest joins around 7:00, Ellison raves about a collection of interconnected short stories she recently enjoyed.

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!
