FINISHING FIFTY
I ran a half marathon in all 50 states in my 50s.
Fifty races. Fifty finish lines. One life-changing journey.
Finishing Fifty is my memoir about resilience, reinvention, and proving it’s never too late to do something extraordinary.

My Quest Partner
I didn’t do this alone. In addition to my invaluable partnership with Mike, I'm grateful for the coaches, friends, and role models who helped me keep going throughout my quest.
My Story
I didn’t start out as an athlete.
After a lifetime of health challenges—and during a difficult chapter in my life—I began running in my 40s.
What started as a personal challenge became something much bigger.
Over the years, I ran half marathons across all 50 states, crossing my final finish line just before turning 60—with a new partner, Mike, by my side.
Finishing Fifty is the story of how I found the courage to begin again—and discovered just how far you can go, no matter when you start.
