Welcome back to Time for Brunch, Today's episode features two truly remarkable women. First we get to meet a marathon pacer on a mission! As a vice principal and mother, Stephanie Dunlap thought her marathon-running days were as far-fetched as a fantasy brunch with running legend Kathrine Switzer. Yet, in a heart-to-heart conversation, she reveals her extraordinary transformation from a bystander to a 37-time marathoner, and her commitment to making the sport inclusive for all. Her story is not just about the miles she's conquered, but a testament to the resilience and empowerment that comes with each step, and the balance she strikes between the demands of motherhood, a professional career, and her passion for running.Transitioning from personal victories to shared triumphs, we explore the selfless world of pacing in marathons.  We delve into the strategies and emotional strength required to support a diverse group of runners, especially those who complete a marathon in six hours or more. It's a celebration of the unsung heroes and an affirmation that the back-of-the-pack runners are every bit as commendable for their endurance and spirit.You can stay in touch with Stephanie on Instagram here. Then, we shift from the physical to the mental, embracing the serenity that comes with mindfulness and meditation. With Angela Smith's insights, we discuss starting small, finding your rhythm, and how meditation can help you become a stronger runner and more capable leader.We cap off the episode by exploring retreat opportunities that pair the calming practice of yoga with the invigorating challenge of running, all within nurturing environments that promise growth and transformation. Join us for this inspiring journey that marries the intensity of marathons with the tranquility of meditation, and be reminded of the extraordinary within the everyday.Angela invites you to learn more about her meditation coaching by joining her for a special FREE virtual community meditation here.
