(2/7) For almost a decade, we watched gabriele grunewald compete at the highest levels around the world, winning a U.S. title and crushing 1500m and 3000m races.

(3/7) In 2014, she took home the gold in the 3000m at the U.S. Indoor Track & Field Championships; her smile crossing the finish line is what we’ll remember most from that race.

(4/7) Off the track, Gabe was fighting a rare and aggressive form of cancer: adenoid cystic carcinoma. She would compete during her remission periods, never missing a beat, with her husband and training partner Justin Grunewald by her side.

(5/7) Through running and life, Gabe inspired all of us with her tenacity and ever-positive attitude. The entire Brooks family is heartbroken, and our condolences go out to her family, friends and everyone she touched with her story.

(6/7) In everything we do, we’ll always strive to be #BraveLikeGabe.

(7/7) Gabe founded Brave Like Gabe Foundation, a foundation raising funds for rare cancer research. If you would like to donate to or learn more about the foundation, visit: bravelikegabe.org.

Had a great time supporting Forest Park Forever at their 5k this morning. Even got to lead stretches with Rene Knott as the emcee. Support the park that supports us every day!!!

People don't realize how much courage Mary Cain has. When you fight the man, often times they attack your character and you don't gain the public support. She had a lot to lose: Sponsorships. Invites to Nike meets (Pre). Is USATF going to have her back?

Proud of this girl. She & I started working together when she was a shy 6th grader! She now runs for mentor at Clayton High & was all state as a freshman! She ran under 20 minutes for the first time & was an even better teammate this year. So proud of you, Izzy!!!!

I can. I will. I must. L.A. Harbor College's 44-year-old freshman, Aleta Fields, has overcome ravages of a 20-year drug addiction to reach the CCCAA State Final DyeStat 📰 buff.ly/2O9agGo

Kids should go outside and run. Kids should succeed. Kids should fail. Kids should play. Kids should be given space to become themselves. Kids should not have tons of homework... ...Because kids should SLEEP. Kids should not be expected to sit still. Kids are not small adults.

I hate the notion that your whole life depends on where you go to college and what degree you have. I’m a business owner with no college degree. I’m pursuing an education part time bc I value what a degree means but don’t think for a second your degree defines your whole life!

At one time the Cardinals employed Harry Caray, Jack Buck, and Joe Garagiola. An embarrassment of riches.

Sometimes I think we just value the wrong things as sports fans. Willie McGee hit 79 homers in 18 years and he was more fun and exciting than a clown car full of 30-homer steroid freaks.
