If you’re looking to spice up your running routine or switch to another activity entirely, this episode serves up inspiration and insight from four “regular” women runners. With Sarah and Coach Liz, the gals share: -the mind-blowing epiphany of being “allowed” to take a break from running;  -a holistic approach to enable running longevity;  -how perimenopause lead two of them to make exercise shifts;  -the siren song of swimming; and,  -the freedom of taking a break from racing.    In the intro, Sarah talks about her son’s dance performances (she just walked in the door from it!); the first guest joins the show around 6:25.   When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
