Following our catch-up for the week, we were so thrilled to welcome rock star runner, mom, teacher, and Hyland's Ambassador, Kim Van Acker.  Kim shares her journey on how she started running after college with Black Girls Run, decided to run a marathon in 2014 and then shaved 30 minutes off her first marathon to qualify for Boston in 2016.  Kim used that qualifying time to run her first Boston in 2018 and shares her harrowing journey from Hopkinton to Boston on the wettest and coldest day in recent Boston Marathon history.  Fortunately, she was able to enjoy a hot Boston the following year in 2019.  Kim also shares how she overcame a significant health setback in 2020 and how she has shifted her approach to running as a result of that experience.  Kim is a special education teacher, a mom, and a leader in the running community.  We absolutely loved this conversation and hope you do, too.  Kim can be found on Instagram and Twitter @kimvanarun.   Thank you to our sponsors, @oofos, @lilytrotterscompression, and @SPIbelt.  Also thanks to our editor, Erin Bryant.
