I’d like to take a minute to recognize some recent accomplishments by some amazing gals that are part of our WOFB family.  It’s a honor to know them and a pleasure to be around them.

First up, Dora…  this young, 48-year old mother and wife, just earned her Spartan Trifecta medal.  What does that mean?  To be a member of the Spartan Trifecta Tribe means you have finished one of each Spartan races –  Sprint (3+ miles of obstacle racing), the Super (8+ miles), the Beast (12+ miles) – in a calendar year (January 1st – December 31st), anywhere in the world.  Despite some setbacks along the way, Dora persevered, traveling from city to city to earn this medal.  In the process, she ended up finishing 2 Beast Spartans, also while training for her soon-to-be 1st triathlon, WAY TO GO DORA!!  You make us proud!

Next up… Lili, a 35-year old mother and wife who just won’t stop!  Lili caught the Marathon bug after  running her first half marathon in 2009.  “Once I did that, I knew anything was possible.” she says.  She has since run 4 marathons to date, improving her finish time with each race.  Her first full Marathon was NYC in Nov. 2009 with a time of 5:08:11 (11:45 average pace); 5 years and 2 kids later, she just recently completed the Chicago Marathon (Oct. 2014) with a finish time of 3:42:13 (8:29 average pace)!   Her goal was to qualify for the Boston Marathon, but fell short by only 4 minutes (9 second pace difference).  “Needless to say, I will be giving it another shot before the running season ends.” she says.  GO FOR IT!  Amazing drive and so inspirational!

LOVE YOURSELF!!! You are YOU, and you = beautiful!!!

For tomorrow, SOLE SISTERS are tackling the Key Biscayne bridge! Please leave your house 15 mins earlier as there will probably be more traffic than usual at the toll due to the Key Biscayne Lighthouse run!

See you tomorrow!
