Description

To commemorate Father’s Day, Dimity and Sarah are joined by Shaun Evans, a dad who is setting off from Seattle on July 4 to run across the country. As if running 3,200 miles in two months isn’t impressive enough (here’s the math: 53-55 miles/day for 60 straight days!), Shaun tells how he’ll be pushing his 8-year-old son, Shamus, who has cerebral palsy, in a deluxe stroller for most of the miles. Shaun shares how the epic journey, dubbed the Power to Push Run Across America, was dreamt up by Shamus after the father-son stroller-duo won (!!) a 6-hour ultramarathon together. Shaun talks about the power to endure and how the Power to Push will be helping other kids, “roll with the wind,” as Shamus sees it. And find out what part baseball plays in this inspirational cross-country trek.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This weekly podcast explores the intersection of running and mothering; it was launched in 2011 by the authors of RUN LIKE A MOTHER: HOW TO GET MOVING AND NOT LOSE YOUR FAMILY, JOB, OR SANITY. Host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating coterie of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to the value of a best running friend, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: These mother runners cover it all (and then some). This witty, conversational podcast makes a great running partner because these gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
