At an early age, I made poor choices that resulted in a miserable life. What could I do? The answers came slowly and painfully, and required risk and much hard work. Read about one person's story of overcoming the odds.
After a twenty-fine year career as a software engineer, Bettie started a tutoring business and started running marathons. In time, her love of running overcame her love of tutoring. She sold the business and left parts unknown.
In 2018, Bettie reached the milestone of 500 marathons, and is ranked the fifth women in North American for the number of marathons completed. Her current total is 548, with the expectation of reaching 600 in early 2020. She can frequently be spotted at marathons around the country with Jim, her sweetheart and running partner.
