The current state of the world and "social distancing" can make you a little stir-crazy. The cure? Get outside! Last week, one of Amy's favorite races was canceled due to you-know-what, so she headed on a glacier adventure with some friends.

Adrianne Haslet wasn't at the Boston Marathon finish line in 2013 because she was a runner. Her decision to walk by, however, changed her life as the bombs went off, taking her leg in their wake.

Now, seven years later, she's not only running Boston for a second time as an amputee, she also convinced race association officials to add an amputee category -- and she's aiming to win it.

Get ready to be inspired through this incredible conversation with Adrianne about healing in the outdoors through a sport she never even considered before the bombing. Adrianne isn't just fighting back against what happened -- she's winning.
