  • Summary

  • Jackie Dikos and I met when we had booths next to each other at a marathon expo earlier this year. I bought her book, Finish Line Fueling, and knew I wanted to hear her story.

    During this episode, sponsored by Athlete Bouquets, we talk about:

    • The fact that she’s one of NINE kids and how that impacted how she played sports growing up (i.e. having to run to practice and run home)

    • Getting married at 21 right out of college

    • Her first Chicago Marathon at 22 in 2001

    • Working with Coach Matt Ebersole and making it to the Olympic Trials in the Marathon

    • How she fell in love with running on a different level after having her first son

    • Why she’s never run Flying Pig even though that’s where she’s from

    • Getting to the line of her first Olympic Trials and finishing in last place

    • Then how it felt to win the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in 2010 to qualify for the Olympic Trials again

    • The different places her husband’s career took her and her family

    • Why she was drawn to the field of dietetics

    • Her foot injury before the Virginia Beach Marathon and having to walk off while she was in first place

    • The story behind Field Brewing and the inaugural Field Brewing 5K
