I was feeling unsettled and really feeling the “empty nest syndrome” - I realized I wanted to do something on my own, I needed a goal! Well that was it, 7 years ago, at the age of 65, I decided to do the 39.1 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Never having walked any real distance in my life, I joined a volunteer coach who met in a local park twice a week to train. It was overwhelming at first, but everyone I met was so supportive—they were all training for the same event. I trained from May to September and “Wahoo!” I completed the 39 mile Avon Walk in Long Beach, California in 2007. That same year, some friends told me about the Long Beach Half Marathon in October. This was the strangest feeling ever, I had never in my life thought about doing a Half Marathon, but I soon found myself completing my first half alongside 3 very close friends. Fast forward to the present—I have completed over 50 half marathons and will complete my 8th consecutive year of Avon Breast Cancer Walks. The positive effects of walking are in body, mind and spirit. I feel in control of my life when I am active and its a feeling I then emulate in other areas of my life. I do display my medals and plaques and I love sharing them with my grandchildren. I talk with them about the fun of participating in something you really enjoy. Hopefully I am inspiring them and not just being a grandparent in the background. I know there are many of us who completed “13 half marathons in 2013”. Not only did I make this my goal—I made it my mantra and I DID IT! Not only did I complete 13 halfs, but I also had 8 first place finishes in my 7074 year old age division! My goals for the future—I am 73 years old now and will keep participating in events for as long as I can. It’s been a trip and I love the activities, as well as training with my wonderful friends, Tina and Kim. Would you like to be a “Featured Fanatic”?
