As I watch Jason Foster, Matt Hansen and Tim Lutke kill it in Joe DeFranco’s gym I felt super lucky to have the opportunity to just be there.

One day while walking Lauren Schwed decided to sprint from the street corner to a stop sign up ahead. This doesn’t appear like it would be a hard task or any magnificent feat of fortitude. So what’s the big deal? The big deal is that a little over a year before this, sprinting seemed impossible […]
