A Milestone in the Making
Actually, a 26-mile(stone), to be exact. That’s the distance that flourish Account Manager Christie Michalec (pictured on the left) ran in the Columbus Marathon on October 16. Following in the footsteps of her family, literally, (mom, sister and dad all are runners; dad ran his last marathon at age 64; sister qualified for the Boston Marathon on her first attempt), Christie attempted the marathon to “test herself.” She trained hard for four months leading up to the event, and although she hit a brief wall at mile 18, she says the spectators’ and volunteers’ enthusiasm, as well as her own perseverance, pushed her on. Another marathon may not be in Christie’s future, but she’s scheduled to run a half marathon on November 20, and she will also continue with triathlons, which she’s done before. While walking for several days after the marathon proved challenging, Christie can now successfully check “marathon” off of her to-do list.

Hoping to see what's more on that Christie's to-do list.
