Anyone looking for inspiration, especially when going through tough times, will appreciate this candid conversation with Theresa Seitz, finisher of 50+ marathons and author of Built to Finish: The Discipline and Mental Strength to Finish What You Start. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams, Theresa talks about:
-overcoming a health crisis that left her unable to walk, let alone run
-the importance of having a “finisher identity”
-why being slightly scared in the face of a challenge is a good thing
-not letting a new health challenge stand in her way of 2027 London Marathon
Before the guest joins around 7:15, Molly shares her excitement about soon welcoming her firstborn grandbaby. (Update since recording: Molly’s grandson was born on October 11; both mother and baby are doing great!)
