5th Anniversary Flashback RED Episode162 Kathrine Switzer (Wish we could call this episode 261)
It's our 5th Anniversary this month. As part of the celebration, we will post flashback episodes all month long to celebrate and say thank you. If it were not for you, our Runcation Nation community, we would not have had this show for the last five years, had some of the most amazing experiences, and created lasting friendships in this community.
Next up is part 1 of our interview with running icon Kathrine Switzer!

RUN
Today, we share the first part of our interview with running icon Kathrine Switzer. She is the first woman to register for and complete the Boston Marathon officially. Her book, Marathon Woman, chronicles her life but is also full of laughter and lessons to be applied in all walks of life. She is an inspiration and an activist for women in sports. We discuss her discovery of running, her book, and her historic run at Boston in this episode's first part of our conversation.

EAT
To celebrate the honor and privilege it is to interview running royalty, we went to a tasty local spot, Jungle Bird Tiki. During our visit, we explore the small plates menu. It's a Tiki Surf and Turf. These two dishes were terrific. Crab Wonton Dip and Beef Carpaccio have a Tiki flair here and so many layers of flavor.
THAT’S A WRAP!
