When empty nest syndrome hit, this Kentucky man changed his life with running.
My youngest kid left for college in August 2016. Before that, I had spent my free time coaching high school softball, and I never focused on myself.
Walking wasn’t easy, but in that first month, I lost 27 pounds and raised more than $1,000 for the team. It was a huge motivator, but still, my confidence waned. But with a littlefrom fundraising, I moved my walks to the track that was a quarter-mile from work. There is where I met two acquaintances who ran.
. When the 10K arrived, I was sick. Though I was bummed I wasn’t able to race, I had a bigger ambitions for later the month: my first marathon, which I wanted to finish in under four hours.
