To the biker who referred to me as a “hottie” on my run, u ruined my entire day. Not because of what u said but because I didn’t have the courage to speak up for myself and tell u how completely unacceptable it was. I’m not out here for your benefit. I am out here working hard.

Something I learned today: in her debut marathon win at the US champs last year, Emma Bates threw up in her mouth multiple times...and swallowed it each time because she was worried about running out of fuel. “I didn’t want to bonk. That was my biggest fear.” That’s dedication.

@oiselle_sally I cried the 1st time I watched the replay, I felt uncelebrated, like I wasn’t even visible, It hurt, then the 6 more times that I watched it, I got enraged. It’s not like I haven’t shared a lot about myself before, & our @nazelite group shares plenty, so much to be talked about.
