  • How being in pain running her last marathon was one of her favorite marathons
  • How confidence comes from doing things for a long time
  • What a race/event makes her want to do
  • How I (Kari Gormley) started running
  • Why choosing clothes are so important
  • How running keeps on reminding her of the beginners path and how running gives us opportunity to learn and grow

    • The top take-aways with part two of our conversation:

    • When you get injured, it’s feedback that you aren’t doing something correctly and learn from it.
    • How the more you do something, the more confident you become.
    • There is no such thing as bad running weather, just inappropriate running clothes.

          Serena Marie, RD, discusses:

          • How her 20 mile run went over the weekend in New Jersey
          • What resources Serena is and can use for her knee that is hurting
          • What would make a 20 mile run SUPER INTENSE
          • Why you want to consume Omega 3s
          • Which food is best for Omega 3s
          • How and when she plans on indulging after the marathons

            • The Top Three Take ways with Serena Are:

            • Eat fatty fish like salmon, achieves, sardines as optimal ways to consume Omega 3s
            • Plan B sources for Omega 3s are grass fed beef, chia seeds, and hemp seeds
            • Go with the flow and if we able to run all three marathons, it’s a gift. If not, running is still a gift. Oh, and Serena might get “something” (you have to listen to find out) after becoming a Marathon Maniac.

              • It’s all things Disney as a vacation and for running next week when Becky Kotsifsas comes on to share her Disneyland Half Marathon experience, and my husband, son and I share are best Disney trips to creating a magical experience.
