Kitten On The Road : The Christine Reid Story
 
"Think I'm a freak ?   Think you could never do this ?  Forget it !  I was the least athletic person you could meet before I started running.  I was a typical baby buster growing up in a suburb in a quaint little town in Ontario.  Lots of friends, lots of fun times, but because of my size I was never that into competitive sports.  I would always end up being the team score keeper just to hang out with my athletic friends.  Went to school, got married, had kids, a nice home and was quite content as a soccer mom.  I worked out in the local community centre over the years so I was in fairly good shape but I was intimidated by the running.  At the age of 41, after a few 5 and 10k's  I decided to devote myself to training for a triathlon.  My kids were growing up, I had more free time and I was drawn to the challenge of  it.  I'm 53 now and race semi-regularly.   I finished my first IRONMAN in 2009.   It takes a lot of dedication, and a supportive network of  family and friends helps, but if you start slow and follow a really good program (and the running Gods keep you injury free) then anyone can do what I do. "
