Great interview! I'm not a runner but have been walking in local 5k events starting at age 53. I can relate with what both you guys were talking about overcoming adversity. Last year I had to have a hip replacement. In April of this year a local run/walk of 4 miles was scheduled. I set a goal to participate in that event which was 6 months post open. My goal was just to finish and not be the last person on the course. I succeeded by finishing in 1hour 9 minutes and was a very long way from being the last on the course! I may never progress past the 5k stage to longer events but my success has encouraged my to try! Thanks!

That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing. Our bodies can do amazing things when we don’t let our brains 🧠 get in the way
