.runnerKG is returning with a new sense of gratitude—and a mission to protect pedestrians everywhere.
Related StoriesAll that changed in an instant. At the end of an easy second run one early August evening, about a quarter-mile from her Providence, Rhode Island, home, a distracted driver nearly struck her. She leapt to safety, but the fall partially tore the tendon attaching her left hamstring to her pelvis.
“From the highest of highs for my running career, that really quickly flipped the switch to lowest of lows,” she toldIn the 14 months since, Goodman has logged hours on Providence trails on a bike she bought off Craigslist; in chiropractic, massage, and physical therapy clinics; and taking care of her rescue dog—a silver lining to a tough time.
Now, she’s applying knowledge from her master’s degree in public health to take back the roads for pedestrians and cyclists—and returning to reclaim her own spot in the elite field at NYC. “It’s more than just the race for her,” said Dena Evans, a former coach and longtime friend and mentor of Goodman’s and the director of the Peninsula Distance Club in San Francisco. “The path has been a little bit long and windy over the last year because of these setbacks. There’s no shortage of understanding of how precious an opportunity this is.”The accident interrupted a long but steadily upward trajectory for Goodman, now 32.
At a low moment in her recovery, her husband Avi consoled her with photos of adoptable puppies. Soon, they welcomed a chocolate lab named Moose into their family.
