Ep 49 | How a No-Quit Attitude Led One Runner to a Strong Boston-Qualifying Finish
Shannon White doesn’t know how to quit, and that’s a good thing because years of resilience and determination landed her with a bid to the 2020 Boston Marathon, and today we get to hear all about her journey to get there.
It took about 6 years, 28 marathons, and a couple of major setbacks to do it, but she did, and the best part of the experience is that she gets to set the example for her girls on how to persevere.
