That was a really interesting story Ilana. I started running late in life(46) after many years of alcohol and drug abuse. I really hated it when i started and just tried not to finish last when i entered a race! Now 4yrs later i love running(usually) and have run about 15 marathons and a 50 mile trail ultra. And i usually finish in the top 10-25 percent(not in the ultra). Thanks for the story.
