But when a machine breaks, a machine gets fixed. When an athlete’s stomach muscles have partially ripped from her pelvis, when the muscles that run down the insides of her thighs are so tight they, too, are yanking at her pelvis … something’s got to give.

It’s great to see MinnPost cover running. Especially now that the Pioneer Press has pulled back on their coverage.

Good luck, Carrie.
