Hello friends! Very grateful to have Marlinda Bedonie (Dine/Tohono O'Odham) come by the studio to talk to us about Native Running. Marlinda is a Native Runner from the S. Arizona, Tohono O'dham Nation, she has completed 2 marathons and 10 1/2 marathons! She spoke with us about who inspired her to compete in her 1st marathon, how she prepares and trains for a marathon, and her goals as a Native/Indigenous Runner. Marlinda also talks about how important it is to stay healthy especially in Native communities and how she inspires and motivates her peers and community on the O'Odham Nation as well as other Native Runners especially women! Marlinda will be at the Native American Family Wellness Day on Saturday, August 3rd at the Yaqui Wellness Center in Tucson, Arizona assisting with wellness events, information as well as a fun run/walk! #nativerunner #goodmedicinepodcast #yaquistrong #indigenousrunner Hosted on Acast.
