   Shari Ball-Garcia - “Run for Her Life: The Brutal Attack during a 1992 run on Maui that Changed her Life Forever”

   Hey runners, I hope you enjoyed this episode and came away with some valuable insights on running safety. We’re all incredibly grateful that Shari survived what could have been a tragic outcome. Though her experience was life-altering, she has faced each day with strength since the attack in September 1992. Shari’s story is a powerful reminder to stay alert and take safety seriously on every run. Running is a wonderful and freeing activity—but it’s important to remember that unexpected situations can arise. Stay safe, stay aware of your surroundings, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep on running, ~Jim Here are the links from this episode with Shari to explore further: Womans Running Magazine Article - I will never run alone again (https://www.womensrunning.com/culture/i-will-never-run-alone-again-a-survivors-story/) San Diego Union Tribune - Chelsea’s Law introduced in Sacramento (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2010/04/13/region-chelseas-law-introduced-in-sacramento/) A&E - Inside Chelsea"s Law (https://www.aetv.com/articles/chelsea-s-law-murders-changed-california-approach-high-risk-sex-offenders) Other Feel Good Running Episodes that relate to survival, running safety, and self-defense tips: Episode 82 - Eliza Fletcher – Heinous, Senseless, Murder – Safety Tips from Tasha Ina Church ( https://feelgoodrunning.com/episode/eliza-fletcher-heinous-crime-safety-tips-tasha-ina-church-done) Episode 79 - Bonnie VanDeraa– A Story of Survival – Redux ( https://feelgoodrunning.com/episode/bonnie-vanderra-a-story-of-survival-redux) Episode 38 - Female Running Safety – A True Story about Being in an Uncomfortable Situation (https://feelgoodrunning.com/episode/female-running-safety-a-true-story-and-advice) Episode 9 - Tasha Ina Church – Professional Self-Defense Instructor (https://feelgoodrunning.com/episode/tasha-ina-church-professional-self-defense-instructor) Thank you, runners, for listening to the Feel Good Running Podcast!

   Sara Hathor - Author - "Unexpected Gifts from all the wrong men"

   Hey Runners, Well, itʻs been a long time. A very long time like three years since my last podcast. So I guess this is a revival or a reboot. Iʻve missed you. A lot has happened in running and my life over the past years and I will bring you up to speed on it all in a future episode. In 2026, you can expect some very interesting episodes. In this episode, my good friend, author, and fellow runner Sara Hathor (https://www.sarahathor.com/) is my guest. She wrote a book titled, Unexpected Gifts from all the wrong men. And yes, I read the entire book. One divorce. One broken engagement. Twenty-five failed dates. A heck of a journey! In Unexpected Gifts, Sara turns heartbreak into self-discovery, breaking relationship patterns and learning what love—and life—are really about. Honest, funny, and deeply relatable, this is a story of resilience, growth, and finding yourself when everything else falls apart. You will love this episode and her book (https://amzn.to/4afIGlv). And she is proof that all these dates gave her a unexpected gift! Today she is happily married to a wonderful man.
