Have you ever heard of a 45-year old woman who could run a 5:45 mile over 26.2 miles and include 100 mile training days in her week, all the while raising a teenager and a toddler? I hadn't until this morning.
Meet Colleen De Reuck. She is everything I described above, and more. To make her even more admirable, she doesn't consider herself a "talented athlete," instead attributing her success to hard work and perseverance.
Whatta lady. Props to Colleen De Reuck!
