Being International Women's Day, it seems appropriate to share this pic. Just under 50 years ago Kathrine Switzer completed the Boston marathon in 4hr 20mins. Crazy at it might seem today, this was the first time a woman had ever competed in a marathon race. It was not allowed!! Race director Jock Semple tried to remove her from the race but failed. Partly as a result of this, women's running has flourished. We now sell more ladies shoes than men's. So to all our female customers; say a small thank you to Kathrine :)
