Summary

For many of us, 2020 has been filled with one-too-many hurdles. It's finally (!) time to turn the page onto 2021, and in order to do that with a little bit of flair, I'm calling in the reinforcements. Capping off a week filled with back-to-back episodes with some of my all-time favorite guests. Today, I'm bringing you my conversation with Des Linden. We're chatting about some of the biggest changes in her life this year, the lessons she's learned, her big hopes for the next 365, and so much more. Perhaps the best parts? All things Destober, her return to racing last month, her thoughts on extra time with her husband and pups, and her attitude about handling life's hardest hurdles.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE
104. Des Linden, 2018 Boston Marathon Champion & 2x Olympian
