"A bald head can mean so many different things."

Lindsay Walter is a 52-time marathoner, 4-time 100-mile finisher, and many-time 50K runner. Most recently, the 32-year-old running coach and freelance writer completed Six Days in the Dome: a multi-day, run-as-much-as-you-can event on an indoor track. (She ran 324 miles in the six-day span!) In this conversation, Lindsay recaps the race, and talks about what\'s next on the run. She also talks about living with alopecia universalis \\u2014\\xa0a condition that caused her to permanently lose all of her body hair at just two years old. Plus, why she wore a wig for years \\u2014\\xa0and what finally convinced her to ditch it for good.
