Summary
You want to feel good? Listen to today's show with U.S. Olympic 3000 meter steeplechase runner Colleen Quigley. Her willingness to explore the possibilities of her life and take a chance are infectious.
To look at her is to think it must be so easy. She's intelligent, beautiful, athletic, talented and comes from a nice family. Would you want to run 70 miles a week and have only two weeks off a year? How about picking up a new discipline in your sport that you had never even tried until your Freshman year at Florida State? What about dealing with injury, long distance love, and pushing your second Olympics back a year?
All I can say is if we all approached life the way Colleen does we would have very few regrets. Enjoy!
The Gabby Reece Show talks to top experts with the goal of extracting the best information you will need to navigate the universe of health, fitness, relationships, parenting, and business. Gabby keeps it simple but gets to the heart of the conversation with the hopes of providing you with realistic takeaways.
