“I was in a car accident in November of 2019 that altered my life completely. I suffered a broken kneecap and a concussion. Today, I still have post concussion syndrome. The one thing I never lost in these five years of trying to heal from concussion without much luck, is my passion for running. Prior to my accident, I loved running 5ks and ran my first and only half marathon. Once my kneecap healed and I was able to run again, I’ve made sure to do this run the past two years. This year I wanted to beat my “not in best physical shape” time of 37 minutes at 2024 Run for Women. Despite lots of stress and anxiety leading up to this year’s Run for Women, I showed up in the pouring rain and wind, and I ran the race in 33 minutes. I met one goal! Next year I know I will do it in 30 minutes or less (counting on better weather hehe). I appreciate the opportunity to be in the Training Challenge Group that I decided to join for the first time this year. It was a very supportive community that helped me to be very prepared for the race this year. I will always look forward to this race!” - Jackie C.

"I became a runner a little later in life - around age 40. I very quickly loved running and the community and ran numerous 5ks, including the Run For Women. In fact, the Run For Women was the first 5k I was able to fully run. I also ran a couple half marathons. In October 2023 I had a heart attack while running my first full marathon. Then in May 2024, just when I was starting to workout and run again, I suffered 3rd degree burns to both my legs, which left me unable to walk or even stand up. After a long and frustrating year I’m very happy to say I am fully recovered with only minor and infrequent pains. The Delightful Run for Women this year was so meaningful and an emotional race for me. I am not at the pace or skill I was at prior to the heart attack and injury, but it felt great to get back to running and have a starting point. The race was so empowering and uplifting, and all the runners, volunteers and spectators were incredibly supportive. This race was great for my soul and mental health and really made me excited to run again." - Lynette P.
