  • How she used running to help her get over a divorce, and found the time to stay fit as a single mother of 2
  • Dancing to the finish line, especially when your body isn't feeling it
  • A hilarious story about her Chicago Marathon experience - and why Deep Dish pizza might not be your first choice of pre-race meals
  • All that and much more!
