Kathrine is running (Bib #261) as race officials try to stop her during the Boston Marathon |
With the help of Katherine’s work, equal opportunities for women have emerged all around the globe. Since Boston, Kathrine has gone one to run numerous marathons including a personal best of 2:51.33! She has gone on to be the driving force behind the first women’s Olympic marathon, has been a television broadcaster and now an author and public speaker. Her books, 26.2 Marathon Stories, Running and Walking for Women Over 40, and Marathon Woman have sold millions of copies worldwide.

Sara ! Awesome giveaway !
I was reading the Fleet Street web site and saw that Kathrine was going to address you but hadn’t realized she was going to run with the group too. So neat.
Of course I am following you… I am reading your tab pages for inspiration and love the posts!
I have been voting for you every day… today as well. Sept 4th
I so hope you are chosen.
I have even started having chocolate milk occasionally after I run!
I am not a marathoner… and I am aspiring to be a half-marathoner (oh gosh did I just go public with that)
I am old enough to remember all the hubbub when Kathrine ran Boston in 1967 and was a young bookish shy girl, totally inspired by this beautiful brassy and pushy woman who broke the rules and excited the world. Pre women’s lib!
The giveaway package is wonderful and I would love to have the charm and the bracelets to wear when I run to give me motivation and inspiration to achieve more.

I tweeted your giveaway!
Hmm, I think I’m a follower. Just a guess.
I want to win because my life sucks and I didn’t get to meet Kathrine. I know you’ll eventually talk me in to 26.2 (I don’t think I’ll be quite ready for Cbus in 2012 like we had planned, but probably 2013).
I voted for you. And if you win, there best be chocolate milk up in here.
i follow!
Tweeted, yo!
I want to win because even though I was the last women to officially cross the line at Chicago last year I wanted to get redemption this year and actually finish in a normal “there are still people at the finish line” time but I can’t due to injury. :/
I’m a follower of your blog, but I already was 🙂
I would love to win the prize pack because I am deeply thinking about taking the plunge and signing up for my first full!! I would love a little extra boost of motivation!
Tweet tweet, I tweeted about the giveaway!
AND I voted for you on Refuel because you deserve to win!! 🙂
I’m a follower, duh!
I *am* a marathon woman and proud of it!
I voted at team refuel.
Getting ready to tweet!
new follower! I’m ~K~ and my email is runner_girl5k(at)yahoo(dot)com
I’d like to win the 26.2 marathon pack b/c her story is so inspiring, I love reading running books and i’ve never run a marathon. (And will definitely need to get inspired to ever do one — 11 miles is as far as i’ve ever run at once!)

I follow your blog! 🙂
I would like to win the 26.2 pack because I have so much to learn about running. I started running (very slowly!) about 18 months ago and although I love it more, I am not improving all that much. I’d love to learn from her books and be even more inspired.
I follow on Google Reader!
I would love to win this prize package, because Kathryn Switzer has always been one of my role models. The book, signed by her, would be a truly awesome thing to have! I have run two marathons…not sure how many more I will do… 🙂

Why would I love to win 26.2? Because some day – we WILL run a marathon together…and this’ll keep me honest and inspired. 🙂
I voted for you. Again. 😉
And for the record – I’m obsessed with Chocolate milk. I buy it at Costco now. 🙂

I would love to win this giveaway because she seriously sounds inspiring. Plus I have always been huge on learning, reading about, studying equality and women’s rights. I would love to know more about her story. ANd I believe running a marathon was one of the most empowering things I have ever done!

I’d lose to win this because I’m aspiring to run a marathon in the next few years. I just started running this year and the extra motivation would really help me a lot!
Voted for you today!
I’m already a follower!
I’d love to win the prize pack! I’m a 1/2 marathoner, but always looking to improve my training/time, etc. and knowing that running is as much a mental sport as physical, I’d love to read another woman’s story.
I just became a follower!
I would love to win the prize pack because, yes, I am already a marathon woman. 10 years ago I did a marathon. Then had two babies and gained a lot of weight. Well, I’m back, baby! I’m doing another marathon this year- my second! I am very proud to be a marathon woman again.
