Oh, hi friends! Seven years ago, Desi Linden came in second place at the Boston Marathon—by two seconds. Yesterday, in the worst running conditions possible—rain, wind, bitter cold—she won. I feel like Desi's quote from before the race says it all: “I know it’s a big thing to say out loud, but I think I’d be selling myself short if I was like, ‘Oh, I hope I podium’ or ‘I would like a PR.’ [Winning] is the thing that I’m really chasing after, so just go ahead and put it out there.”
