Angela woke up early this morning to catch a live stream of The Marathon Project. She was rewarded with witnessing a win by medical school student Marty Hehir in the men’s race. Hehir’s victory was particularly meaningful because Angela just wrapped up her first semester of medical school herself. She could glean true inspiration from Hehir’s successful balancing of the rigorous school-training grind.

“Oh shoot, I guess I really have no excuse now to skip my easy run today.”

She was laced up and out the door shortly thereafter.
