A Must Listen Broadcast with Katherine Switzer – The First Woman to Run the Boston Marathon as a Numbered Entry
Runners,

That show was featuring Katherine Switzer – The First Woman to Run the Boston Marathon as a Numbered Entry and her story. It was incredible. Of course, I knew the basic story, but listening to how she got into running, running marathons, the discrimination/stupidity is amazing. And, her continuing story.
