Buckle up: Dimity and Sarah cover a lot of ground in this podcast, starting with a half-marathon race recap by SBS, and some thoughts from Dimity about her rapidly approaching Pikes Peak Ascent. The ladies are joined by Pam Smith, M.D., a pathologist, mother of two, and kickass ultramarathoner. Pam has them hanging on every word as she tells how she went from being the fourth-to-last finisher in the 2012 Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run to winning the prestigious ultra the very next year. (!!!) Yet it’s refreshing to hear Pam admit, “there’s gotta be some peer pressure to do burpees.” Pam also tells the tale of how she and her 9-year-old daughter completed a 24-hour race around a 1-mile loop; with plenty of rest breaks and, “about 80% walking,” the youngster covered 34 miles.
The conversation also covers the joys of a cotton T-shirt (Sarah can’t get behind that notion), then culminates in Qatar. From there, it’s a wild ride in which the topics flit from the first-ever AMR running retreat (next April in Little Rock, Arkansas) to our third book coming out next spring, plus the announcement of the AMR Running/Reading Club (AMRRR, pronounced, “AM-errrrrrr”). First book on the docket: Rachel Toor’s young adult novel On the Road to Find Out, about a high school girl who takes up running and navigates the gauntlet of college admissions. Read it by September 8 to be able to submit questions that we’ll ask Rachel (another ultrarunner) on air. (Hope that doesn’t sound too much like a homework assignment!)

I think that everything said was actually very reasonable.
But, what about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I
don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added
a title that makes people want more? I mean Ultra Running Podcast with 2013 Winner of Western States 100 is kinda vanilla.
You might look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article
titles to grab people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people interested about everything’ve
got to say. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more
interesting.

obviously like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts.
A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it
very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I’ll certainly come
again again.
