WHAT DEFINES AN ATHLETE? (MAGDALENA LEWY-BOULET)
The third clip in our What defines an ATHLETE? series features elite marathoner, Magdalena Lewy-Boulet. I interviewed her back in November 2006, days before she ran the NYC Marathon.
Since then, she has run Boston in 2:30, qualified for and competed in the Beijing Olympics (Team USA, marathon) and signed a multi-year endorsement deal with Saucony. What's noteworthy about Magdalena, is that she's a first-time mom and one of the few elite runners who has always had a job outside of running (currently, assistant track coach at Cal-Berkeley).
Defy definition.
