I’ll Have Another Podcast Episode 45: Mary Johnson

Such a fun episode with Mary! Mary’s been a friend through social media for years and I had the opportunity to hang with her in Boston 2014. I’ve always admired Mary for her drive and motivation to work hard.

Mary has a marathon PR of 3:06 which she ran in super hot conditions at Boston 2016. Before her love for running really started, she rowed D1 at Fairfield University all four years of college. She lived in NYC for a few years working in Fashion Marketing, before getting married and moving out of the city with her husband Gabe. She currently works as a trainer and running coach for McKirdy Trained.

In this episode, Mary and I talk about training, rowing, body image, overcoming an eating disorder, baby names (of course), belly button rings, what she’s loving and all kind of other fun stuff!
