Today on the show, we are so honored to be joined by Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner, writer-editor, and book author. Amby talks about his Boston victory in this interview, but that is not all. On this, the anniversary of the Boston Marathon in 1972, when women were officially allowed to register and run, he talks about women at the Boston Marathon and the influential role women play in the sport. He was so generous with his time! We thank him for sitting down to talk with us, and we're wishing him a fantastic run in Boston this Marathon Monday!
