If only the bag could tell us how to pronounce it…
In an uncharacteristically oversharing mood, Dimity opens this show with a TMI tale that cracks Sarah up. (Doesn’t everything?) Then, jumping into questions posted on their Facebook wall, the mother runners talk about everything from dividing longer runs into two workouts to importance of “easy” runs. (No, not oxymorons.) Find out what the exercise “grey zone” is—and that Dimity admits to loving it. The gals discuss how to balance racing with family planning, agreeing you shouldn’t ever have to justify race distance or plans to anyone. In telling Norma-Ann when to start running more frequently, Dim and SBS debate whether they “look forward” to a run versus “not dreading” one. Along the way, Dimity gives a few hints about their upcoming third book—and Sarah mispronounces “cruciferous” not once, not twice, but three times!

So many of Dimity’s comments in this podcast resonated with me. Like not having to justify your choice of race distances – at this time in my running life I have no desire to focus on anything longer than a 10k. In fact, my goal this summer is to get faster at 5 and 10k’s. Until now, I never realized how marathon-focused the running world is, and it’s hard to find others who want to go faster instead of longer. Also her comment about how running every other day has made her a stronger runner. Amen to that! Plus, it gives me the chance to do all the other activities that I love, like cycling, lifting, yoga, pilates, bootcamp…
Ok- I have a Tuesday TMI question….
Does anyone else when starting up real hard training get infections? – you know… Down south? Not bad… Just enough to be uncomfortable? Is it from running longer time/miles? What the ouch! Feeling miserable and embarrassed…. But I have a relay in two weeks and I don’t have time for this!!!!
Btw- without you ladies and your books/ podcasts/Facebook/blogs…. I would NOT be the woman I am today- and I would not have accomplished all I have… With such fierce determination! So THANK YOU!!!!!!
