Go behind the scenes at our June 2011 cover shoot as Lolo Jones, Olympic contender and USA track & field champion, discusses how running has encouraged her to push through roadblocks and move past setbacks on her path to the Olympic Games. Plus, she tells how she achieves balance through giving back.









Ms. Jones, I just read your Wikipedia bio. I only knew/admired you as an athlete/track star! But wow! You have overcome some tremendous challenges in your early personal life to make it your dream happen! I have an entirely different level of respect for you now that I know your story and more about you as a person. I always find it important to understand people’s “life stories.” May God continue to bless you!
P.S. Great EL interview!
