“Most women look to turning the big 50 with trepidation and negativity.  I decided to do the opposite and turn it into a positive by looking forward to doing the Coast to Coast in 2017.  For the past year, I have revolved my life around training.  Not an easy feat when you work shift work in an emergency department, have a cherry orchard, run and host yacht charters and try to keep time for “family”.  I think I am fitter and stronger now than when I was 30 years ago.
