Very, Very Viral!!!

Wow! I have really learned not to underestimate the power of the internet! Two weeks ago, Runner's World magazine ran a short piece about Going the Distance  on their website (I love reading the comments on their Facebook post about it!) and since then, the film's YouTube views and online presence have absolutely skyrocketed! As I write this, more than 65,000 people have watched the film, and that number has been increasing by the thousands every day!
In addition, the RW article prompted other publications and blogs to run stories on the film. I have linked to some of those articles below (apologies if the links break down over time!):
  • Shape Magazine, 85-Year-Old Woman Makes History Racing Against Men In 100-Meter Dash
  • Self Magazine, This 85-Year-Old Grandma Running The 100-Meter Dash Is Our New Hero
  • Team USA, Breaking New Ground: Skeleton Athlete Caitlin Stuetz Trains Her 86 Year-Old Grandmother to Race Against Men
  • Age Group News, Going the Distance
  • Simple Most, Old People Running The 100 Meter Dash Will Make Your Day
  • Senior Planet, Video of the Week: Going the Distance
  • Purpose 2 Play, True Athletes: Penn Relays Feature 100-Meter Dash For Those Over 75
Last but not least, check out this follow up article published in BU Today, which not only highlights the fact that BU had two alums in the top-5 finalists, but also gives a sweet little shout out to my new son, Silas :)
