SWITZER: In 1967, when I pinned on that bib number, I really wasn't trying to prove anything because a woman had actually run the Boston Marathon the year before by just jumping out of the bushes and running. GARCIA-NAVARRO: So it's hard to imagine these days that women would be banned from running in a marathon. Kathrine Switzer joins me now from Boston. Now she's prepping to run it again at the age of 70. As with many sports, it used to be a men's-only event until 50 years ago, when Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to wear a Boston bib number and race. The Boston Marathon is tomorrow, one of the marquee events for distance runners around the world.
