This video is a great reminder of how far we’ve come. Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to enter the Boston Marathon. During the race, she was physically attacked by one of the race organizers for having the audacity to participate in a “male” sport.
She went on to become an advocate for women’s athletics, and she opened the door for millions of women, including myself, my mom and my younger sister, to be able to participate in marathons, and other running events.
