Pretty cool.

Indeed! Thanks for posting the link!!
I drove by Desi on Tuesday afternoon. She was near the Ashland/Framingham town line. I was coming up over a hill and she was in the road. Thankfully, no one was injured.
Do you think she'll contend this year in Boston? From the little I'm able to gather it seems her training is going well.
We hope she does, too. A lot.
not bad for mile 25
I'm excited for her. Let's see, if I carry my phone and sign up for text alerts, I could know how she did by mile 4. Or maybe before I cross the starting line.
Feeling the growl again
LOL. I can't believe it took me so long to make the connection. I just realized I ran a sizable portion of the 2004 Boston Marathon with her husband.

Big fan of the Hanson's program in general... Desi is, by far, my favorite marathoner out there. Brian Sell was the Desi Linden of the blue-collar marathon world. She busts her ass, takes the long approach, and just keeps (intelligently) grinding through the mileage. There was a solid article on her training and racing in a recent RW. This paragraph really stuck out to me.
“I don’t know how to verbalize this,” Hanson says, “but some athletes will do everything right, and then they want to believe in their training. Desi believes in her training. There are no doubts on race day about what she’s capable of doing, because she knows. She makes it happen because that’s what’s supposed to happen. It sounds so easy, but so few people can do it.”

Thanks for this.
Look at this list of fastest marathon times and search "USA." I submit that the other names are far more celebrated than she is.
Filtered for you, and chronological.
