Every week I pull up the Member Engagement report to see who has engaged the most the week before who hasn’t been nominated yet. This week we meet Mary Mulvaney
Why did you start running?

What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
I CAN do it!
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Believe in yourself.
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
Training and stop saying “well I start tomorrow” .
What is your longest race distance and why?
Half Marathon. Originally thought of it as a long term goal that I would work towards.
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
I’ve wanted to do a DisneyWorld 1/2 Marathon but then I saw that Rock N Roll in Ireland and thought that be really awesome.
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
Not a race per se but I’ve done Relay for Life with my Mom & Sister in memory of my dad. At a different Relay for distance I wanted to do the equivalent of the years he past (20) which = 5 miles (I wasn’t prepared for 20 miles, lol)
What is your favorite color?
Green
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
Probably shouldn’t admit it but I usually stop at fast food and get cheeseburger and coke (Coach Lisa says treat yourself!)
