-how she found meaning—and relief from depression—through movement;
-the early days of Harlem Run, the NYC running group she founded;
-the troubling whitewashing of U.S. running history;
-her profoundly unsettling experience running the Boston Marathon; and,
-the genesis of her upcoming PBS series, debuting December 1.
