So many possibilities for someone with your brains and talent. It's going to be fun to see how this adventure unfolds.

You continue to be such a shining example of what it means to work hard, stay positive and persevere. Here's to whatever comes next!

Really fun to hear your back story. So many more things to look forward to!

Pretty cool way to start your day.

It would be interesting to hear how the organizers came up with that format -- and how many beers had been consumed when the idea took hold -- so out of the box. Nice job!

The older I've gotten, the more I've come to realize that ebbs and flows are what make life interesting. Glad to hear you're doing so well.

Well, that made my day. You've come so far - in running and life - couldn't be happier for you!

Louie is a real jerk. That is all.

Sorry to hear about B2, Carissa. The downside of our deep love of running is the crazy we experience when we can't get out there. Through the years, I've definitely gotten better about accepting the ebbs and flows of injury-healing-comeback. It's never easy, but it gets easier. This rest time will be over before you know it - best of luck getting through it.

Those splits are quite beautiful. Congrats. Good luck with NYC training.

Pushups after every lap?

You are so fierce, girl. That is such a hard climb. Great job!

Good to hear it went so smoothly. Hope you recover fast.

I love this story so much! So impressed with - Jim's courage (100 pounds!!) - Your tenacity (effing hammy) - And the way you inspired each other. That flying picture is one of the Loop's finest.

Definitely need a bigger barn. This one appears to be full already. Great job!
