Margo Baltera is a badass. We've known each other for about a year and I was so happy to finally get to sit down and get to know her better. During this episode, sponsored by Athlete Bouquets, we talk about:

• The story of how we met and why it involved Kraft Singles
• How she’s 59 and I’m not sure I believe her
• Going out for cross country in middle school and having to run with the boys since her school didn’t have a girls team at the time
• How one morning she woke up and told her husband she wanted to run a marathon
• Her first marathon at Monumental in 2012, the year it sleeted and the year it was the same weekend as IU Parents Weekend
• Becoming a mom of three kids by the age of 26
• Finding the running community
• Running the New York City Marathon in 2015
• Running the Marine Corps Marathon with her son while he was working in the White House
• Pacing her first marathon at Monumental for the 5:00 pace group
• What it means to be an Abbott World Majors Gold Member
• Battling plantar fasciitis in Berlin and Boston and an asthma diagnosis she doesn’t think is accurate
• How she came to compete at The State Games and then at The Senior Olympics
• Figure skating and roller skating and how it was her life when she was young
• How Meb Keflezighi became her running coach (yes, that Meb)
