3 weeks before the Clear Water Marathon in Florida, I made the decision to run it. Here is what I didn’t expect to happen…

 

• Run with a cold I got two days before

• Experience some really hard personal life obstacles (which caused me to only do 4 short practice runs leading up to it)

• Limp for half of the race due to cramps.

 

Despite all that, I finished!! ✅

 

Completing this race was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. You can even see it in my face by the time I crossed the finish line.

 

But this is just the start…

 

I got 72 more to go!!

 

My dream is to walk/run a marathon every year until I’m 100 years old.

 

I set up this vision a few years ago because it’s my way of keeping me accountable for the rest of my life. I want my health to ALWAYS be a priority.

 

This is my third year in a row completing one.

​

The first two were walking marathons when I was 26 and 27 but this was my first time running it.

 

To the next 72…bring it on baby!!
