It’s a story of an underdog, of overcoming obstacles... Most importantly, about Norman the Great Dane, the world’s greatest napping buddy.

A job?

I’ve gotten a few messages asking about the shooting in Boulder knowing maggiemontoya works at the pharmacy. Maggie was at the store at the time. She was able to barricade in the pharmacy with her co-workers. She is now safe and has been escorted out of the store by police.

Survivors of the grocery store shooting in Boulder, Colorado, described a chaotic scene and the urgent calls they made to loved ones as they hid from the gunman. nyti.ms/2PirC70

The horrific experience Maggie & her co-workers went through is going to take time to heal from. I'm grateful for Josh Cox being part of her team & helping us manage this extra element. He's set up a fund for the pharmacy staff to help w/ external costs associated w/ that process

On Saturday (04/03), we will come together to honor the lives of those lost, show gratitude for efforts made by law enforcement, & unite as a community through running, an act that brought most of us here in the first place #run4boulderstrong More details: instagram.com/p/CNEGHEQHm_A/…

Consider taking part, where ever you’re at, in a memorial run to remember those involved in the Boulder shooting last week. Print off a bib, run a 10k, and show your support for a community that has played such an integral part of distance running’s history.

A pair of 5000m races on tap this weekend: Drake Relays for Frank Lara on Friday night in Des Moines @OregonRelays for Alia Teixido Gray on Saturday afternoon in the new Hayward Field. Time for them to stick like Velcro with their fields because shiny new PRs await!

So grateful for the opportunity to race on these (newly renovated) hallowed grounds tomorrow. 🙏 Women’s 5k goes off at 1:42pm PT!

Well folks, that was a flop. 😬Training is going well, the fire to run fast is burning bright, yadda yadda... Getting out that hot felt foreign and highlighted some gaps that I need to work on for competitive track. Grabbing dinner and beer, and continuing to push forward.

The biggest lie you’re made to believe is that to maximize success in this sport you have to put on hold all other aspirations and opportunities. I’ve worked a full time job since 2018 and just completed first year PhD program and now running better than ever. #Amatuer

Big 13-sec 5k PR (15:25) tonight for maggiemontoya at the USATF Distance Open. Huge run for her returning to racing. Just off the Trials standard but a run to be very happy with. Can’t express how proud I am of her. She’s a fighter.
