NEVER say never !!!!!!!!




  • I smoked a pack a day for 23 years,
  • Two years after I quit, I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer,
  • Eighteen months ago, at the age of 49, I decided to learn how to run ...
Today ... I finished a half marathon in 2 hours 45 minutes and 19 seconds ... it wasn't fast by any stretch of the imagination, my husband finished almost an hour ahead of me ... but I ran 13.1 miles and I finished!!!!!!!!  Feeling a little proud right now ;-)

NEVER say never.

    YOU. GO. GIRL!!!!!!

    My cancer scare was at age 23 (cervical) but I continued to smoke pack/day until very recently (total of 18 years). I started running about 1 year ago. I ran my first Ragnar in January, my second will be in September. I'm hoping to do a half next February. I know how hard it is to kick the habit, survive the diagnosis (mentally and physically) and become a runner. You are amazing!!!
