It's so hard to believe it\u2019s been nearly a month since we were all in Atlanta for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials \u2014 truly the good old days! And I want to keep remembering and celebrating those days. Andrea Toppin is a chiropractic student and elite marathoner for Oiselle who trains with the Minnesota Distance Elite \u2014 and she didn\u2019t have the race of her dreams that day in Atlanta. On this episode, Andrea shares her story, opens up about the tough decision to DNF at the Trials, and talks about her outlook moving forward. (Spoiler: One race does not define you as a runner or as a human!)
