It was my goal to try and beat my best half marathon time of 1:50:36 than I achieved during the Thunder Road half marathon in charlotte (2013); however, never did I think that I would be able to run the entire 13.1 miles in 1:44:37, with an average pace per mile of 7:59. To think that only 2 1/2 years ago I ran my first mile since college (1984) with my daughter is hard to fathom. I have went from 235 lbs. to 185 lbs, and dropped 150 points off my cholesterol. At 50, my health and fitness is better than at anytime in my life. My next major goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 3 1/12 years. I am so thankful for running and what it has taught me about life and living.
Live OUT LOUD!
