There once was a woman who lived in a shoe. A size too snug, but what could she do? But that's not where her story ends. Thanks to a little help from her Experian friends, she got her score into much better shape and relocated to a box fresh new place, with room to grow and a mortgage to suit. Now, she lives in a spacious four-bedroom cowboy boots.

Better your Experian credit score to help get mortgage ready.

Experian.

Better your score.

Better your story.

Welcome to the Runner's World Show, where each week we entertain, inspire, and inform

you about all things running. I'm Brian DeLick, one of

the producers of the show, and I'll be your host today. This week in the kick, Kit Fox and I

will catch up on some of the latest happenings in the world of running by bringing in a few other

runners' world editors, including a story about a very inspiring Spartan race finish.

But first, an interview with Jordan Hasse. At this year's Boston Marathon, at the age of 25,

Jordan Kamen 3rd. Her time of 2.23 is the fastest debut marathon by an American woman by nearly three minutes.

The race, however, was an emotional one as it came just months after the sudden passing of her mother.

Jordan spoke to contributing editor Sarah Lorde Butler about Boston,

her prodigy-like talents on the track growing up, and how running has been instrumental

in helping her process her grief.

We had this course that my mom and I would run together, and so I would wake up 5 or 6 a.m.

when I couldn't sleep and just go out and run during the sunrise.

And I told myself, okay, when you see the sun, that's her.

And that kind of was a way to help me through.

And I've always felt the most calm, and now I feel kind of the most connected when I'm out there running with her.

So it's really actually been a good form of therapy.
