"Sometimes you’ve gotta just get a little messy."
Caroline Moss has long had a dream: to run the New York City
Marathon. As a New Yorker, it's her favorite day of the year. The
catch: Caroline has never been a runner — until recently. In this
series, we've been following author, creator, theater producer,
Saved by the Bell super-fan, proud millennial, and professional
shopper Caroline Moss as she embarks on a quest to start running
and run the race of her dreams.

chatter, talk of root canals and colonoscopies, and Caroline's read
on the running community after attending a live show during NYC
Marathon weekend last year.
