It's about a goal
Congratulations to Dr. Troy Ivey! He ran the Boston Marathon on April 20, 2009 in 3:25:29.
Invitations to participate in the Boston Marathon depend on a combination of a runner's age and marathon completion on a sanctioned course.
It's about courage
Congratulations to Sally Anderson who completed the Des Moines Marathon 2008 Half-Marathon Race on Oct. 19. Sally, who has multiple sclerosis, carried a sign reading "Cure MS" along the course. With the help of friends, Sally walked across the finish line to complete the half-marathon. Congrats, Sally!
It's about happiness
"Since I started running at the first running club meeting in April (15 minutes and near cardiac arrest!) I've worked up to where I am today which is running 30-35 minutes 6-7 times a week. I've also gone from forcing myself to do it and having a very high heart rate and breathing rate to being very comfortable and feeling "in the groove" on most of my runs. I even got new running shoes this week! I don't see any marathons in my future, but I feel great and feel like I'm finally getting back to my pre-baby place. I've also felt inspired to really change my diet and I feel like a general happier person every day! I saw on your website that you wanted people to email in their stories and that is mine! So thank you for randomly mentioning the running club back in April!"
