Why I Ran a Half Marathon at 60! And What Happened…

Seriously why did I do it?  OK so it is not my first race. It is actually my 5th! But I am running them faster now and suffering more afterwards.  The race before this one I did my fastest by far and got such a bad migraine… well let’s just say it wasn’t pretty!

This time I also pushed myself but took medicine and managed to get a smaller headache but still…

Why did I do it?  And what happened?

The answer is in this video that I made on the very day I ran my race. It is about 15 minutes long. Really listen to it and share with me your take away from it.

I ran this with you in mind, on behalf of us all and our greater visions!  Really I held the vision and the prayer that we should all be able to succeed in whatever purpose is calling us!

I did it because I will never give up! Because I believe in myself and in all of you! In the video I am raw and in the moment and sharing from my heart. Take time to listen and to share with me what you are committed to doing no matter what and how can I help you!

While I was thinking about why did I do this I was compelled to look over all my other races to see my times. So I went searching and here is what I found. I have gotten faster. When I started I did not even think I could run at all.

I guess my point is this. You CAN do it! Whatever it is you can do it and you do not have to do it alone.
