Dimity in the house! Literally. Dimity joins Sarah in her basement recording studio for conversations with two debut marathoners, BFFs Heather Roszczyk and Marianne Lloyd, who have been chronicling their training for Wineglass Marathon on AMR site. First up is Heather, who kicks things off by admitting she mentally raced Sarah at her first trip around the track. This mother of two talks of how she found her “running family” thanks to the local chapter of Moms RUN This Town. The three gals debate the pros and cons of using a pacer in a race. Next up: mom of one Marianne, to whom “run and race are two very different words.” Unlike her speed-loving pal, Marianne plans to “make a friend a mile” during the marathon, yet she knows it won’t be “all glitter and unicorns.” This university professor also talks about her up-and-down journey with weight loss.

Before bringing on the guests, though, Sarah and Dimity recount their morning run, Sarah’s first foray back to running since fracturing her ankle in four places on May 1.
