A running friend just shared this photo...it's from the Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World a couple weeks ago. The woman, who is both a runner and a firefighter, ran all four races of the challenge dressed in her full fire gear, including boots and O2 tank. Proof that women are stronger than we typically get credit for. <3

FYI - the Dopey Challenge, which I start training for later this year, is running four consecutive days of races - 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. This accomplishment nets you six medals (one for each race, plus one for completing the Goofy Challenge - running the half marathon and marathon back-to-back, and one for completing the Dopey Challenge) a sweet 48.6 sticker, shirt, and years of bragging rights. To do all of that in full firefighter gear is just phenomenal. This woman is my insane runner hero. <3

Dayum. That's impressive.

I wish I had a photo of her without her gear. I bet she has legs of STEEL.
