196. Keira D'Amato, Pro Runner and American Record Holder in the Marathon

Welcome this new record holder (also, my new BFF) to the show! For episode 196, Keira's talking about how she got here: From post-college running to the injury that had her taking a step back. She talks about having children, getting married, and diving head-first into her career as a realtor only to come back to running as a "hobby," — knowing that it was a big risk that could go well or set her up for disappointment. It wasn't long until she started taking her hobby to new heights, setting fresh goals, and aiming to go after Deena Kastor's American record — set in 2006 back in London. We cover it all: From what it felt like in Houston, how she feels about doing things "differently" than other pros, her favorite Oreo flavors, and what's next.
