The name Kathrine Switzer may not immediately ring a bell, but you may know the photograph. It shows Switzer getting pushed off the Boston Marathon course by a race official. It was 40 years ago -- 1967 -- and Switzer was the first woman to officially don a number and run in the race. She's out with a new memoir called Marathon Woman. She sat down with ideastream's Eric Wellman.
