Kathrine Switzer - WOW

Last night we met the the first woman to run the Boston Marathon 40 years ago: Kathrine Switzer. What an amazing woman! She gave an inspirational talk and took the time to really visit with everyone who came to have her sign her new book Marathon Woman - fitting our short doc is Marathon Women. She was absolutely lovely and an incredible role model for creating opportunities for women in sport. It was truly an emotional and motivational evening for me and my fellow runners.

After being with all these AMAZING women I met my WONDERFUL Uncle Wes for dinner at his hotel. He is in town for a couple days so we look forward to seeing him on Wednesday too. Merci Oncle Wes!
