    This week I will be talking about how training for my first marathon helped me heal from an assault.  (TW: I will be referencing sexual assault in this episode but I will not go into any detail of the event itself.)

I will share how (barring any medical restrictions) running a marathon is achievable even - or especially - for the imperfect among us. Podcast IG: @ofagepod Support the show
