My local track club shared this article on FB and I decided to share it with you all.

I find this incredibly interesting.
I wasn't a runner until 3 years ago so I can't relate to being that hardcore about any athletic pursuit honestly. But I wish her luck

    Incredible. I've read about her in the past and it is refreshing to see that the people around her have longevity in mind and not just focused what she can accomplish right now.

    As a former D1 middle distance runner I will forever be fascinated by that distance and the stories of the elite athletes who compete in the 800/1500M. I truly hope she has a long, successful career.

    Fascinating read! I'll be interested to see if she ends up on the 2016 Olympics roster. She sounds like quite the athlete!
