Playlist, podcast, or silence on long runs?

Silence. Used to run with music, and still do in the gym. But I found music increases my bargaining with "I can rest at the end of this song." vs just keep going.

Most memorable finish line moment?

First half marathon. It was pouring rain the whole time, I didn't have Roka glasses yet so I actually took my glasses off and had them in my pocket the whole race (could barely see - scratched the lenses and needed new ones). Probably stress fractured both feet. Felt mentally unstoppable for weeks though, and it has kicked off a streak of 7 NYC Marathons in a row (#8 coming up this year).
