Did you know that Priscilla Welch started running at the age of 35 after smoking ‘a pack a day’ of cigarettes and by the time she was 39 years old she made an Olympic team in the marathon and at the age of 42 ran 2:26:51 in the marathon?
It’s never too late to get started!
This is what wikipedia had to say about her…
