Inspiration

Gladys Burrill may or may not be a familiar name, but she is certainly an inspiration.  She currently holds the world record for the oldest woman to complete a marathon – at 93 years of age!  If that isn’t inspiring, I don’t know what is.  Perhaps even more inspiring, is the fact that she completed her first marathon at the age of 86.  She is living proof that it is never too late in life to try something new.  She sounds like a marvelous woman who has lived a fulfilled life.  She has said many wonderful things about staying positive, but my favorite quote I’ve read from her is this:
“When you cease to dream, you cease to live.”
So keep dreaming ladies, and never be afraid to accomplish something new or different, you can do it!
