Happy Boston Marathon Day! 🏃‍♀️💙💛⁠
⁠
Today, thousands of runners will cross that iconic finish line on Boylston Street — and we can't celebrate this race without honoring the woman who made it possible for all of them.⁠
⁠
In 1967, Katherine Switzer () ran the Boston Marathon when women weren't supposed to. 🏃‍♀️⁠
⁠
A race official tried to push her off the course, but she refused to stop… and finished all 26.2 miles.⁠
⁠
In 2017, Katherine returned at age 70, this time alongside 13,700 women — proving how far we've come. 🙌⁠
⁠
Her bib number, 261, became a symbol of women breaking barriers in sports. 💥⁠
⁠
Every woman toeing the line in Boston today runs a little bit because of her.⁠
⁠
Tag a strong woman who inspires you to keep going — on the course and off it. 💪🔥⁠

"Maybe we should start talking about how many men out of 3 will sexually assault someone... instead of how many women out of 3 will be assaulted. Let's shift the ownership." - Christina Ricci

From GGS Academy Founder, Molly Galbraith:

"One of the most underrated benefits of strength training for women is building self-efficacy.⁠
⁠
When a woman believes in her ability to execute the behaviors necessary to achieve a goal...⁠
⁠
She’s unstoppable. 💙💙⁠"

Best pictures i've seen of the female athletes at Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily, 3rd to 4th century CE. "Of the ten women depicted in the mosaic, nine wear what look like two-piece bathing suits. The girls in the mosaic are engaged in sports; the “bikinis” are clearly intended as sportswear, not swimwear. The girls in ancient Roman villa are engaged in a number of activities, such as long jumping with weights in their hands, throwing discus, running, and playing a form of handball."
