This week, I'm interviewing Deena Kastor, the 2004 Olympic Marathon Bronze Medalist and the American record holder in the marathon. She is also the author of, "Let Your Mind Run. A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory." As she tells stories from her lifetime of running, she incorporates lessons about optimism, and how she used mindset to transform her running and her life.
