I am running the New York City marathon after running it 12 years ago on the Michael J. Fox Foundation team. This Foundation is raising money for Parkinson’s disease research. I’m so proud to be back with them and slightly terrified to be dragging my old ass over 26 + miles around the 5 Boroughs. This ep I tell a lot of stories of how Running was a severe punishment for me as a kid and how I changed my mind about it. I cross some funny roads and am not giving any words of encouragement or motivation don’t worry- zero jive. Thanks -GF
