Another Mother Runner

Attaining Big Goals—And Then What?

Anyone looking for inspiration to go after an ambitious goal—and folks looking to get over post-achievement blues—will love this episode. Recorded at AMR’s Lake Placid retreat, hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin talk with four goal-chasers, who discuss: 
-how to step up to longer triathlons; 
-thoughts + emotions of closing in on 50-state marathon goal; 
-pushing a disabled daughter in a wheelchair in a marathon; and,
-rebounding to regular workout-life after a lengthy run-streak. 
 
In the intro, Amanda reminisces about doing the inaugural Lake Placid Ironman Triathlon. The first guest joins at 8:37.
