This Pro Runner Finished Her First Marathon Defeated and Injuredβ€”Here’s How She Came Back to Run 2:23 Natosha Rogers made her marathon debut at the Olympic Trials. It didn’t go as planned. After building back confidence and healing injuries, she made her comeback a year later.

It’s Not too Late to Get the HPV Vaccine as an Adult A decrease in cervical precancer rates shows just how effective it is.

It’s been a minute since I’ve had to devote time and energy to pitching story ideas (vs. having most assignments come straight to me). This one came from a good old PR pitch (rare when that happens!) and I was also able to incorporate personal experience:

β€˜Olympian’ Isn’t Where Aliphine Tuliamuk’s Career Ends After battling injuries, the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials champ has some unfinished business on the roads to attend to.

It was fun to catch up with Aliphine Tuliamuk for @outsiderun.bsky.social last month, who confirms her career is far from over and that she’ll be scared for her competition when she’s back on the roads:

How Did Erika Kemp Break Through at the Houston Marathon? With a new age group and a big PR, Erika Kemp is welcoming her marathon era and giving sage advice to young Black runners.

Always great to catch up with pro marathoner Erika Kemp. And not biased at all or anything, but I still maintain that the Houston Marathon is THE race for breakthroughs. 😏

Also annoying that I’ve never been able to include a preview link with a Runner’s World story, but it always works for other sites…
