Deep inside I thought that it would be a great achievement to finish the marathon. Then I had the 'milestone' birthday and turned 50! In talks with from about the marathon, she mentioned that the had one more number available for the Marathon. I met with the Theatre management team, they were very encouraging and positive about my desire to run, they showed me all of the wonderful opportunities that the Theatre offers for the young company and the community. I said 'I'm in!' After five months (great winter to train) of training I'm ready!"
