Told she would not run again, the Christian High School principal worked for 5 years to fight back and finish the grueling Leadville Trail Marathon

I wasn’t going to do any of it, so I could get active again and do big things.” Stop to process that: She ran a marathon, in the thin mountain air with elevation gains, five years after being told she’d never run again, as a sexagenarian.
