00:01I'm Sila Watt-Cloutier, and I'm a tough old broad.
00:04I'm Katherine Switzer, and I'm a tough old broad.
00:08I'm Sharon Farmer, and I'm a tough old broad.
00:12I promise you, I'm tough.
00:15I knew how to fight.
00:17My daddy taught me how to line it up, put out the right hand,
00:22do some fentanyl, waving with it.
00:24You see it over the tail.
00:26Toughness doesn't have to be forceful.
00:28It can be gentle. It can be soft.
00:30It can be a way in which you remain true and persistent.
00:34The stamina and the grit, you know, that you need
00:38to address the issues that are important.

01:00No peace!
01:01No justice!
01:02Good things happen because we excel when allowed to excel.
01:06And the more you do your best, you are not to be denied.
01:11The Boston Marathon gave me a perspective on the change I wanted to be a part of.
01:16When I get cold feet about something, I was like,
01:19come on, you did that when you were 20.
01:20You could do this now when you're 77.
01:25Abroad doesn't take any prisoners.
01:28Somebody who is kind of feisty and a little bit in your face maybe,
01:33but basically gets on with the job.
01:36You're resilient.
01:37Nobody can roll over the top of you.
01:39You know what the heck you're doing.
01:41And challenge me if you wish.
