The top three takeaways from this episode are:

  1. Even though running is a solitary sport, being part of a group or mass of people makes the experience.
  2. Aim for the moon and you even if you miss, you will land upon the stars.
  3. Take a step back from an experience, even an interaction with someone, and ask yourself, what is this person/experience teaching me?

Next week, we’re going behind the scenes of the Chicago Marathon and bringing you inspiring interviews with runners we met during the Marathon weekend.  We’re also coming up on 100 episodes!!!!!
