Sounds like she is sorta...like Sister Madonna Buder, the triathalon nun from Spokane, WA. But a tri is on a different scale than a marathon.
By the way, I was curious to know if Buder is still running/doing tris..I came across her Facebook Fan page. She's around 78 now??

I don't jog at all, but she is inspiring in several different ways.

Wow. That's all I can say is WOW! Both of them are an inspiration. I started running at 49 too........maybe there's hope for me!

Bike Chick, of course there's hope for you!
As a youthful 47yo, I plan to keep on running (and now cycling) as long as my legs hold out and I can get my joints replaced if they wear out
They both fantastic ladies and I'm determined to follow in their footsteps.Lots to learn, but I'll get there.
