Since I began the practice of running a few times a week beginning in August of 2016, I’ve managed to work in a few local 5K races here and there. Today’s guest, a self-described recreational athlete, set her sites just a little bit higher; deciding she was going to find a way to get to the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii (she made it there and finished this grueling race at age 46). Her name is Karen Brown and, since that time, she’s competed in 18 of the toughest races in the world. Somehow, she also found time to write a book. It’s called Unlimiting Your Beliefs: 7 Keys to Greater Success in Your Personal and Professional Life. I gave this book a 5-Star review on Amazon and believe it to be more than worth your time.
