The hype around The Kara Collection refuses to quit and it's not hard to guess why. Kara is pretty epic, so naturally her collection is epic as well. While Kara was in Seattle shooting the collection, we went on a training run together and being my run-nerd, post-collegiate self - I was losing my mind. Here I was on a casual run talking about life, racing, and the experiences in-between... with Kara Goucher. It's not every day you get a glimpse into the mind and life of an elite athlete. Which is exactly why I wanted to share this roundup!
Here are our favorite blogs where Kara gives us a window into her life.
