Stories from the Start | Rita, 49, Canada

In today’s episode we have Rita, a 49-year-old from Canada. After a lifetime of struggling with weight, she decided to make a change. This led to her first run, her first 5k and she’s not done.

Stories From the Start is a new segment on the SFTR Podcast featuring Brittany Lee, who runs the Stories from the Start blog. What you’ll hear is Brittany narrating inspiring stories submitted by runners from their starting line. What were they feeling? Why did they choose now? How did they know it was time? What happened in their mind, in their life and in their heart that brought them to that place?

If you like, you can submit your own story to SFTS here.
