Published: Aug. 7, 2018, 11:56 p.m.

\u201cI\u2019m still not sure which was crazier: me finishing second, or the response to me finishing second.\u201d \u2014 Sarah Sellers

After the 2018 Boston Marathon, everyone wanted to meet second place finisher Sarah Sellers. She joined the Ali on the Run Show just two days after her triumphant finish in Boston \u2014 and that episode went on to become the most-downloaded episode of the show\xa0ever. Today, Sarah is still a nurse anesthetist living in Arizona, but her life looks a little different post-Boston. She's no longer and unknown, unsponsored runner \u2014 she signed with Altra soon after Boston \u2014 and she's $75,000 richer thanks to the Boston Marathon. On this episode, she looks back at that day in Boston and how her life has changed since, and shares her big racing plans for the fall.
