I read this hugely inspirational story this morning, about a 63 year old grandmother who has just completed 27 marathons in 27 consecutive days… while pulling a 3 wheeled cart!
Rosie Swale Pope was awarded an MBA in 2003 after pulling the cart around the world on a 20,000 mile run taking almost 5 years, in memory of her husband who died of cancer. I love reading stories like these, they are great things to think about on rainy days when you have a long training session to do which you’re really not in the mood for, then you remember something like this, pull your socks up and just get on with it thinking “If they can do that, I can certainly do this!”
