"I thought oh, London Marathon, that sounds cute! So I signed up. And then I was like Paris Marathon? Oh my god, that sounds so cute, too. So I signed up for that, too."

On this episode, April \\u2014 who is the director of production for designer Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss \\u2014 talks about why she started running in her fifties, what finally got her to kick the smoking habit, and what it\'s like being a hard-working single mom.
