Episode 153: Denise McMillan

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 12:45:20 +0000

Denise McMillan joins me on the show today. She has a unique story in that she didn’t become a runner until the age of 49 after overcoming Breast Cancer. Just five years later, she has run three marathons and created friendships that will last a lifetime. Denise talks about how the friendship side running might in fact be the most meaningful part to her. Denise has two daughters and one granddaughter and works in marketing.

I met Denise a few years ago and instantly connected to her positive nature and really funny personality. I knew I wanted to have her on the show right from the start and I’m so excited that we have finally made this happen. In the episode, we talk about her life growing up in New Zealand, getting married really young and getting through a lonely time during her divorce. We also talk about walking through Breast Cancer and coming out on the other side and finding so much freedom in running. I know many people will relate to different pieces of Denise’ story and you will take something with you from this conversation.

Enjoy!

Episode 141: Roberta Groner

Roberta Groner is a 2:30 marathoner, full-time nurse and mother of three boys. She recently ran a half marathon at the Philly Rock’n’Roll half marathon running a time of 1:12:20, finishing third behind Des Linden and Kellyn Taylor. She took a huge break from running toward the end of college and then after 10 years, when her youngest son was two, decided she wanted to do something for herself. So she started running again. She ran her first marathon in Chicago just 7 years ago in a time of 3:12 to debut. She’s been chasing down faster times ever since.

Now a masters runner, at the age of 40, Roberta is still competing at the highest level with the open field and is putting no limits on herself. Since our interview she announced she is running the NYC Marathon – put this inspiring woman on your list of people to follow and cheer for!

Enjoy!
