Ironman World Championships, Kona, Hawaii
Here's a big cheer that goes out to my friend Larry Branigan!
Larry competed in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii this weekend. He didn't win, but was a winning example for all of us. Larry is a 62-year-old colon cancer survivor who really can't run any more, but didn't let that stop him. He swam, biked hard, and ran as fast as his body would let him.
He finished in 14:38:33, 25th in his age group and 1494 overall.
Not bad for someone who is just over a year past surgery and nasty chemotherapy. Cancer slowed him down, but never killed his spirit.
So the next time you don't feel like getting up in the morning to run, think of Larry. If he can do it, so can you!
