I trained for my first marathon to get super fit, yes, but to what end? Running five marathons in the past four years lifted me from a midlife malaise, trimmed by butt down to size and gave me the drive, focus and confidence to write a book that, hopefully, will inspire many others to take their own fitness journey to a stronger self. What will come of the millions of women around the world taking up running, getting strong? As Kathleen Wynne, the first female premier of Canada’s largest province, put it in my book, Older Faster Stronger: “It takes strength to take your place in the world.”
