CONGRATS TAMMY! She perservered and rose up after an injury!! A stepping stone on her way to nailing that time she wants! TAMMY- Well I did not get the time I wanted. In fact this was my slowest marathon to date. I can give a hundred excuses: hamstring prevented speecwork & hill training, got super dizzy a few times & felt like I was going to.passout. So decided im taking it easy & so be it. I finished. Now to rest & heal up. Weather got a little warm. I did just read a young lady collapsed in the half 100ft before the finish line. I.pray she is ok
Thank you to everyone who supported me: My kids. Michele Yates my coach. My hubby Steve Bucko for traveling along & being my support group & Norman Williams for checking on me. My mom Marlena Austin
& everyone else! Finish time was 6:07
Like i said slowest to date. Always grateful I can run♡♡♡ This race is dedicated to the memory of my baby sister Megan Austin * my dad William Austin Bill♡

Sick and tired of being sick and tired?

If you start wrong, it will be harder to finish right!

NEW BLOG POST WITH VIDEOS and LINKS!

Many people jump into fitness with complex routines, restrictive diets, and unsustainable goals, only to burn out quickly.
