"I really believe that if you do a good job with the process, the outcome is gonna take care of itself. The time is gonna take care of itself."

I\'m running the Eugene Marathon on April 30. I\'ve run six marathons, but my most recent one was nearly seven years ago. So, it\'s been a while! And while, sure, muscle memory is a thing, I wanted to enlist some help with the process this time around. Enter Coach Kaitlin Goodman, founder of Running Joyfully, and sports dietitian Meghann Featherstun. Together, they\'re not just helping me get to the start line healthy and the finish line happy \\u2014 they\'re teaching me a lot along the way, and ensuring I\'m enjoying the process (which I really, really am!). In this conversation, you\'ll get to hear all about what it means to run my way right now, including what\'s going great, what\'s still a mystery, and where I feel I\'m falling a little short.
