Making the decision to run my first half-marathon at age 45 was the most ambitious personal growth experience I had ever tackled. The exhilaration of crossing that finish line was unique, but far more important for me were the life lessons I learned along the way. I discovered that it was more than a run-- it was a journey of my heart. The lessons of dreaming, enduring, & finishing apply to all of us, whether running a race of a few miles or of our whole life.
