Derartu Tulu won the NYC marathon today yesterday. She's a 37-year-old mother of six (ages 11, 3 & 4 adopted--ages of her adopted children were not given). She's amazing. Paula Radcliffe began to trail behind and Tulu encouraged her to stay with the lead pack. She looked amazing, strong, happy, relaxed. Coming in second was a 41-year-old. It just sort of makes me think being in your 30's is perhaps perfect, or about as close as it gets! I don't have the unrealistic expectations or insecurities of my 20's...and I am amazed at the pinnacles my body can take me to. I am loving seeing progress every week in my runs and my swimming & seeing what Tulu did by winning the marathon after a long break away makes me think the best is certainly yet to come! Woohoo for women & our bodies!
