Growing up in Santa Monica, California, Julie Weiss would do almost anything for love. She drank, she quit school, she stole - and she ended up a mother in her teens. Years later, overweight and depressed, she put one foot in front of another and found a new road beckoning. In 2012-13, Julie - aka the Marathon Goddess - ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks.
