Lisa and Julie discuss their week, announce the winners of the 1 Mile Pandemic Improvement Project, and then welcome the amazing Sarah Mulcahy, of Eagle Lake, Maine, who qualified for the Olympic Marathon Trials in 2018 after breaking her hip in 2017 while 34 weeks pregnant with her second child.   Note that this episode was recorded a few hours before the official Boston cancellation announcement.
Sarah shares her incredible running journey, which began in 2008 after college to relieve stress.  Sarah wakes up at 3 am to run during the cold Maine winters, while balancing two kids and teaching..  Sarah candidly shares how having an attitude of gratitude helped her recover from her hip injury and qualify for the 2020 Trials with a plate and two screws in her hip.  Sarah's story is SO relatable in that she has encountered a number of injuries, including stress fractures and a devastating hip injury, and persevered with determination, positivity and grit.   Sarah can be found on Instagram and is a frequent racer at multiple Maine marathons, including the Millinocket Marathon, a FREE Boston qualifier event to help a struggling Maine mill town, the Bay of Fundy International Marathon, and the Mount Desert Island Marathon, along with the Boston Marathon, which she ran in 2014 while six month pregnant.
