Episode 114: Johanna Kitchell - The Third Comeback Story

Johanna Kitchell is a RUN(317) Ambassador and a middle school music teacher by day. I've seen Johanna at various races but finally got to sit down and get to know her. If you want a comeback story, this woman has THREE.

During this episode, sponsored by Athlete Bouquets, we talk about:

• What summer feels like as a teacher

• Growing up in Albany, NY and how she ended up in Indiana (and then how her sister also ended up in Indiana)

• Running in college at Butler University 

• Becoming an ambassador for Run(317) and even running one on her wedding day as part of the festivities

• How her husband, Joe, won the Boston Marathon Kuwait Edition in 2018

• The fact that the Indy Mini needs to bring back the double medals for the top 500 finishers

• Healthy Hawks - the running club at the school where she teaches

• The half marathons and marathons she’s run

• Her - not one - but THREE comeback stories

• Christmas Eve 2023 when she was attacked while running
