going all the way

Posted by speedygeoff On Thursday, May 24, 2012 | 3 comments
I know a couple of Canberra runners [Lucia, Susan] doing the New York Marathon this year. Now if I were in this crowd of runners in a marathon there  is no way I could stop, is there? I would definitely be going all the way. What a buzz!

Keep your eye on the prize! 

Someone who is going all the way, as far as being fit healthy and happy as the years progress, is Ruth Baussmann, 62 years old today. Happy Birthday Ruth!

  2. How many times do I have to wish Ruth a happy birthday?!

    I'd love to race the NY Marathon one year - perhaps in the 60-64 age-group.
