#478: Latina Runners Share Their Experiences

Sarah and Katie enjoy candid conversations with three Latina runners in this second installment of our series Run in My Shoes, in which we aim to amplify the voices of a wider array of runners. The guests detail:

-overcoming guilt imposed by their extended families at taking time to run;

-the empowering effects of running;

-the viewpoint of running held by many in the Hispanic community;

-concerning incidents precipitated by racial profiling; and,

-ways to welcome more Latinas into the world of running.

In the intro chitchat, Katie shares an embarrassing dog anecdote and Sarah kvetches about earlier wake-ups. The primer invitada joins at 15:00.
