SBS and her sassy, striped sidekick, John, who chimes in several times during this recording.

A departure from the usual podcast, this one was recorded live at Powell’s City of Books in Portland. After introducing the AMR duo’s new book, Tales from Another Mother Runner (and having her 9-year-old son inject a witty one-liner from the sidelines), Sarah reads her TAMR essay, which is about dealing with the effects of aging on her running. SBS then fields questions from the audience of local runners, such as how the running scene has changed since the publication of Run Like a Mother and favorite races. Included in the mix is a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday,” complete with “cha-cha-cha’s” from Sarah’s sidekick son. Listen to the very end to hear proposed details about AMR’s fall 2015 running retreat. (Spoiler alert: It’ll most likely be in the Pacific NW.)
