Occasionally, I share a slice of our lives outside the store. Today, something I should probably put in the category of shameless self-promotion.

Last year, I was interviewed by the lovely Mina Samuels for her book, Run Like a Girl.

Part locker-room confidential, inspiring manifesto, and personal memoir, this book shows us through stories how the confidence women build by participating in sports—whether it’s running or rock climbing, swimming or yoga—can transform our lives in profound ways. (via)

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to travel to New York for a taping for the Today Show, in support of the book.

On a panel with some incredible women, it was a thrill to hear stories of strong women finding themselves through sports, something I have been lucky enough to experience since learning to swim at 26 years old, 14 years ago.

Great thanks to Mina and all the women who participated. It was an inspiring day, and I look forward to seeing all of us on the Today Show when the piece airs. (And of course, I’ll be sure to let you all know!)
