Another Mother Runner

#473: Lesbian Runners Share Their Stories

Sarah and Amanda Loudin chat with two lesbian runners, members of Front Runners New York, in this first installment of our new series called Run in My Shoes, conversations with an array of diverse voices in the running community. The two women share: 
-the importance of finding a safe space where people immediately “get you”; 
-how their club’s fun runs are all about, well, FUN; 
-the joy of running in NYC’s Central Park; 
-suggestions for heteronormative clubs on how to be more welcoming to LGBTQ+ runners. 
The host duo talks about bugs while running (#BroodX) in the introduction before being joined by the first guest at 12:31.
