"In dance, you\\u2019re kind of always told what to do, how to do it, how perfect it has to be. Running has been a way for me to let all of that go."

Sarah Grooms spent 13 years doing hundreds of eye-high kicks a day as a Radio City Rockette. On this episode, she talks about everything you\'ve ever wanted to know about performing at one of the world\'s most famous venues (including how Radio City\'s famous camels get their exercise between shows!), and explains why she decided to hang up her heels last year in favor of running shoes. Today, Sarah is a certified personal trainer, and is a fitness instructor at Precision Run in New York City and ob\\xe9 Fitness online \\u2014 and she\'s a marathoner!
