    Grit and Grace: A Conversation with Megan Foster

    Grit and Grace: A Conversation with Megan Foster

    Artist, teacher, Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, and now mother, Megan Foster returns to the podcast. A lot has happened since we first interviewed Meg in October 2019 (see Episode 29: "The Artist at Work"): two knee surgeries, one c-section, and a pandemic. Meg has resumed toeing the line, however, getting to that line has not been easy. We talk about it all in this beautiful episode. This is a conversation about grace, resiliency, competition, adapting, and coming to terms with the very real possibility that a passion could have become out of reach.
     
    Meg was also one of four women featured in our live panel discussion at Custom Performance in New York City on February 9, 2020. To listen to the recording see Episode 37: "Women Run The World."

    Craving Community: A Conversation with Stephanie Shiau

    Craving Community: A Conversation with Stephanie Shiau

    When Stephanie Shiau moved to South Orange, New Jersey in the autumn of 2019 she left her New York running community behind. Having trained with a group for several years, Stephanie knew the magic and transformation that comes through training with others. Not wanting to miss out on this camaraderie and growth, Stephanie immediately searched for a running community in her new neighborhood. What she found, however was an opportunity to create a running community and, thus, SOMA Fox Running Club was born.
    Stephanie Shiau is an epidemiologist at Rutgers School of Public Health where she teaches and mentors graduate students. It’s not a surprise that she would teach and mentor individuals in another realm about which she knows a lot: running. Stephanie is a founding member and head coach of SOMA Fox Running Club, which serves South Orange / Maplewood and the surrounding New Jersey neighborhoods. SOMA Fox Running Club is not just any running club, though. Their mission is twofold: to promote and extend the joys of running to everyone, and to give back to the community. As such, and because they believe that all people should have access to healthy food to achieve their own goals, a percentage of all funds raised by SOMA Fox Running Club goes to their charity partner, MEND - Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity.
    This is a story about leadership, courage in creating community during a global pandemic, inclusivity, service, compassion and the power and joy that arise when a community supports one another.

    ”Runnin‘ Down A Dream”: A Conversation with Ana Johnson

    Part of the elite field at the 2021 New York City Marathon, Ana Johnson has been a talented runner from her very first race. At this year’s marathon, which was not only the 50th Anniversary of the New York City Marathon, but also a five-borough celebration of the city itself, Ana ran 2:44:11 - thirty seconds faster than her time on the same course in 2019.
    Ana moved to New York from Torreon, Mexico at the age of 18 to learn English. She is now an oncology nurse at Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center. Raised by marathoners, Ana's running achievements are impressive and inspiring. So is her determination and will in the rest of her life. This is a story about chasing dreams, falling in love, falling in love with running, being open, being positive and how one woman used running to cope with a terrifying year as a healthcare worker during the pandemic in New York City.
