from For The Long Run: Exploring the Why Behind Running · host Jonathan Levitt
Stephanie Garcia is “just a make it happen kind of girl.” She grew up in Virginia and was a walk on in the steeplechase.

This episode is brought to you by Goodr. Summer is here and Goodr has the slickest shades around, for only $25 and $35. They don’t slip or bounce, and stay on my face way better than more expensive sunglasses.
