But all of that could change now that she is headed to Tokyo.ĭespite never having run a marathon, Seidel is no newcomer to the sport. Seidel told The New York Times that currently fits runs in between jobs. The 25-year-old lives with her sister in Boston and works two jobs, as a barista and babysitter, to fund her running career.
“Ever since I was a little kid, this is like the only thing I’ve ever dreamed about doing,” said Seidel after placing second and making the team. In a crowded field of elite runners, Seidel did more than well - she put herself on a path to achieve her lifelong dream. Going into the Olympic trials, Seidel just wanted to try to run well for her first marathon, she told NBC News.
But that marathon is all it took for the 25-year-old Bostonian to clinch her spot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Molly Seidel had never run a marathon when she arrived at the Olympic marathon trials in Atlanta last weekend.
