- 80-Year-Old Woman Sets A Half Marathon Record!! What’s even more impressive about Garrett’s half marathon times is that they keep getting faster—an unusual trend for runners her age.

Oh yeah!! Hopefully, that will be ME!
I have the skirt…

I went to school pre-Title IX. When I was in high school, the boys played sports and the girls were cheerleaders. I wasn’t popular or coordinated enough to be a cheerleader. I was a nerd. I was in National Honor Society and Key club and we sold hot chocolate at the football games.
I didn’t attempt a sport until my 40’s when I learned to play tennis. I was on a team and we competed at the national level. That finally gave me some confidence.

2002 – I’m the one on the right
In my 50’s, my tennis friends convinced me to try running. Well, I haven’t looked back. Running is the sport for me!!

I am “running like a girl” and beating 2 guys!
- Serial podcast – It’s my new treadmill distraction. The story is addictive.
- Sales. Who doesn’t love a bargain? I got a jacket at Target for $8 (clearance & cartwell app), a skirt at Burlington Coat factory for $5(sale) and a tank at Penny’s for $2 (sale & coupon), running shoes from Amazon for $10 (had a gift card).

Happy Running! What are you loving today?

I started my running later in life too, I wish I would have started sooner! That’s cool you took up tennis and enjoyed it so much. I was always very uncoordinated in PE, i actaully failed it when we had to do gymnastics…ugh, bad memories.
Love the deals!! cute skirt and shoes 🙂

Wow, you are such a great bargain shopper. Right now, I am enjoying all the new Champion clothes we got last week. The capri pants are wonderful with a huge mesh pocket to hold fuel or a phone. I also saw the story about the 80 year old woman marathoner. You have competition, I would also like to break that record!

I was a late starter as well (43). I love that her bib is #80 too. I hope I’m still out there at 80 and rocking a skirt.
