Still Going Strong!
| March 1st, 2010 in Inspiring Women |
In October, we posted a feature on Nancy Willemstein, 63, who ran more than 30 marathons since turning 48. Click Here to read the original story.
Update: In 2009, Nancy ran five, (26.2 mile) marathons. That brings her lifetime total marathons to 34, and she has no plans to slow down. To mix up her daily exercise regime, she has begun free weight training at the Y, swim lessons, and Zumba. And she fits this all in while working a full time job at Steelcase in Grand Rapids, MI. Here are pictures of Nancy finishing the Twin Cities Marathon in October and the Huntsville Marathon in December. Not bad for a Grandmother!

“I have three goals that I live by: drive, desire and determination, and each day I strive to use them all to be my best. God has given me this body and I want to do the best I can with it,” said Nancy.
