Shalane Flanagan: This past summer was one for the books

Posted Oct 15, 2016
Shalane Flanagan packed three of the most memorable moments of her life into a period of just a few weeks this summer. And that’s saying something, considering she won bronze in the 10,000 meters at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and can stake claim to the second-fastest marathon time in American history: 2:21:14, good for third place at the 2014 Berlin Marathon.
