32、,” said Wolfgrams assistant coach, EmKay Sullivan. “I knew she was going to break it, but she really showed out!”During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish. “I guess I can say I gave it my all,” she told Runners World.“I When I finished all was thinking was I

33、 was super happy,” Wolfgram said.This was only her third marathon.

42、abeled math-anxious.

Compares it to public speaking. Many people get anxious before giving speech or performing. “You can respond to that posi
