Veronica Voakes:First Time Marathon(June 11,2010)
We have over 5000 friends at
facebook(Greatwall
Marathon),and Veronica Voakes is one of the 100
friends up till now at Facebook who would attend the
Great Wall of
China Marathon on Sunday May 1,2011.
Yesterday we received her Online
Application,and 12 hours later,we also got her very warm email
telling about her marathon life:
"I had always wanted to be a runner,
but was never in shape and lacked self-confidence to even try. After
losing 120 pounds, I started running in September 2009. I completed
my first marathon on May 29, 2010. It was an extremely emotional
time for various reasons. I was determined to run (even with 6
stress fractures). Of course it was physically painful, but crossing
that finish line made it all worth it!
I hope to combine my love of running and my fascination of China and
run the Great Wall of China Marathon in 2011!"
When Veronica Voakes comes to Beijing
China,we Chinese people and Chinese organizers would do our best for
her and all the wonderful runners across the world.
