RE: Shalane Flanagan Retires Is She One of The Best US Runners of All Time?

One of her Instagram posts, Shalane Flanagan said,

"For 15 years I've woken up every day knowing I was exactly where I needed to be. The feeling of pressing the threshold of my mental and physical limits has been bliss. I've gone to bed with a giant tired smile on my face and woken up with the same smile. My obsession to put one foot in front of the other, as quickly as I can, has given me so much joy." Source

It's so inspiring what she said. I agree with you, @dzboston33. That's a great outlook and we should adopt that. Now she is a professional coach of the Nike Bowerman Track Club.
