Summary

Whether you’re a newer runner, a seasoned veteran, or somewhere in between, you’ll gain insight and wisdom from this episode featuring three “regular” women runners talking about how they developed a runner’s mindset and identity. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, the runners talk about: -the power of exercising outdoors; -the effect of the internet + thinking others judge your running; -the importance of working toward a goal, not just wishing for it; -not using negative language to describe a run or race effort; and, -it's never being too late to hone your mental muscle. Before the first guest joins around 13:37, Sarah faces Liz’s (good-natured) mockery to tell about her recent pickleball pajama party! When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.

0:56.6	So the story behind it is that a few weeks ago, I had a dream that I showed up at the pickleball courts in the pajamas that I was actually wearing as I was sleeping. So the exact same pajamas I was
1:13.5	wearing in bed as I'm dreaming is what I in my dream showed up at the pickleball courts in and my
1:18.5	slippers. And like for a second I debated what I should do in my dream. And I'm like,
