Julie Weiss crosses her 52nd (and final!) marathon finish line in Los Angeles


Dimity and Sarah get to know Julie Weiss, a.k.a. “Marathon Goddess,” who ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks (wowza!). A mother of two, Julie was motivated in her epic quest as a way to raise money and awareness for pancreatic cancer research, in honor of her father who succumbed to that disease. You might recognize Julie from the documentary “Spirit of the Marathon II”; as Dimity points out, Julie has perfected the art of wearing a lot of mascara while marathoning. Find out how Julie worked full-time, jetted around the country, and ran at least a 26.2 every weekend, sometimes even twice. Even now, she marvels at her accomplishment (us, too!). But first, learn the meaning of “deep shade” along with Dimity.
