More of my writing about running this year:
- Also for Starting Line 1928, I interviewed Karen (Blair) Troianello. A standout 800-meter runner for WSU, she joined a group of women student-athletes and coaches in a lawsuit against WSU over inadequte support: https://www.startingline1928.com/pioneerstories/karen-blair-troianello
- Lastly, I wrote for Tracksmith about training for a marathon (with a 12 year gap) after a new ADHD diagnosis: https://www.tracksmith.com/journal/article/paying-attention-running-with-a-new-diagnosis

A bit self promotion heading into the new year. I wrote quite a bit about running this year. Here is the list of links:
- For the AEJMC Journal of Magazine Media, I wrote about Runner's World for the prompt "a magazine that made me": https://muse.jhu.edu/article/858297/pdf
- For Starting Line 1928, I had the honor to interview Jacqueline Hansen. If you want a history of women's running, this is an interview that will provide so much context: https://www.startingline1928.com/pioneerstories/jacqueline-hansen

"Learning to read chapter books and tie my black-and-white oxfords was all part of second grade for me. I also learned that when I felt full of energy or unfocused, running a lap around Alpine Elementary would allow me to finish my work in class. Running became a habit: first to ease my thoughts, then as a sport."
I wrote for Tracksmith what it is like training for a marathon with a new diagnosis of ADHD.
