Linden was recovering from illness and questioning her running future. But as she ticked off the miles, opportunity presented itself. She tapped into her inner strength and remembered all the reasons she loved to race. Coming off Heartbeat Hill at mile 22, Linden took the lead and became the 2018 Boston Marathon champion and the first American woman to win the race in thirty-three years. Here she explores her career: defined by tenacity and an independent spirit. She shares the story of how she trains-- and what makes her get up and run every day. -- adapted from jacket
