Stéphanie Tétreault is a 38-year-old runner, lawyer, wife and mom-of-two children ages 9 & 6. With six weeks until the Twin Cities Marathon – an early October race she’d had her eye on for the better part of 18-months! – Stéphanie’s family received the devastating news that her vibrant & energetic 67 year old father had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. As disorienting as this period of time was, Stéphanie chose to keep on training with full awareness that she might not get to toe the start line in Minneapolis. 

This is a deeply vulnerable & personal story about love and loss, and the role that running can play during dark times. Like a familiar friend, it provided Stéphanie with a source of comfort and a sense of control amidst an otherwise chaotic & confusing phase of life. 

For something so universal, grief is not talked about nearly enough and this ranks up there as one of the most important & impactful conversations I’ve had on the show yet!
