I ran my first marathon at age 42, and never stopped. Now, with 32 marathons under my belt, I am one of the few people in the world to complete a marathon on all 7 continents and at the North Pole. Don't let anyone tell you that you're too old to start running! My book, "CROSS THE LINES: A Journey to Complete The Marathon Grand Slam," shares my experiences in the hope of convincing others not to shy away from big challenges.
