Who says you can't chase your dreams after 30? Bonnie Kaufman, a mother of two, did just that. She began her love for running in her thirties, and today, she’s a testament to the power of perseverance, having completed marathons in all 50 states. Listen in as she shares her inspiring journey and the emotion-filled triumph of her 50th state race. Bonnie talks about how Mainly Marathons became her running family, offering support and camaraderie that she never anticipated. Hear her exciting tales of running seven marathons in seven days, and the resilience it took to conquer such a grueling endeavor.
Ever considered the intimate relationship between running and self-care? We’ve got that covered too. Bonnie and I share our own experiences with injuries, the lessons we’ve learned, and the importance of proper warm-ups and stretches. We underscore the value of having a supportive network and how it can fuel your motivation to reach your running goals. Bonnie even hints at the possibility of taking on European marathons – is there anything that can stop this woman? The tenacity of runners like Bonnie is an affirmation that age is but a number when it comes to pursuing your passion.
Finally, we delve into the mental aspect of running. It’s not just about physical strength or speed, but also about the beauty of using races as a pathway to travel and explore. We talk about using marathons as a reason to see different parts of the world, focusing on the beauty around us instead of obsessing over pace. This episode is sure to motivate you to get off the couch and lace up your running shoes, even if it’s just for a mile’s worth. So why not take a cue from Bonnie – surprise yourself, challenge yourself. After all, running is not about how fast you go, but how far you're willing to take yourself.
