Another Mother Runner

How Emotions and Virtues Shape Runners

This is the ideal episode for anyone who gets a bit contemplative on a run: The guest is Sabrina Little, Ph.D., a former pro runner and author of The Examined Run. With hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, Sabrina shares:
-her heartwarming start in ultramarathons; 
-that pride doesn’t help you as a runner, but envy can; 
-how devices can “separate” us from our surroundings as we run; 
-how to rediscover wonder while on a run; and, 
-the role of suffering in the lives of runners. 
 
Sarah shares the continuing (!) saga of her son’s wayward birthday card to her before the guest joins around 6:10.
