How badass is Karen Howe? Well, she just beat fellow masters runner Meb Keflezighi in the New York City Marathon by 12 seconds in a time of 3:10:22. In doing so she finished 210th out of 22,112 women and 25th in her age group. Karen is a working mother of two and getting better as a runner every year. In this episode we talk about that performance, her decade of marathoning, along with how and why she took her running to the next level over the last year and a half. We also talk about how running has taught her patience, how to cope with failure, and balance versus achievement.
