In this special Thanksgiving episode, I share heartfelt advice and life lessons from fellow mother runners and a few male runners I know or coach. Drawing inspiration from my own journey through the Chicago Marathon and the relationships I have built along the way, I delve into wisdom that transcends running, offering insights into parenting and life itself. This is a episode that will move you and inspire to look at everyday life and every run through a different lens. It may even bring you to tears, like it did for me. Discover the power of community, resilience, and gratitude as we celebrate the beauty in everyday moments.

Thanks for listening. And thanks for being a part of this community with me.

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
