Don't Let Age Limit Your Goals: It's Never Too Late To Start
Pamela Wrona is an online and in-home tutor specializing in college prep (SAT/ACT) and high school math. She was born in Pennsylvania, spent her childhood in Maine, and has lived in the South Bay since graduating from college. She shares a home with her partner, David; their four rescue pups Sheba, Mia, Cookie, and Stormy; and a cockatiel, Cosmo. Originally a speedwalker, Pamela began her long-distance running journey in 2012 at the age of 51, when she signed up for a half-marathon to raise money for the ASPCA. She completed that race doing a walk/run combo, then went on to train for her first marathon, the 2014 Los Angeles Marathon. Since that time, she’s completed a total of 10 marathons, 21 half-marathons, a 24-hour race, and a number of shorter-distance races. Pamela finds the benefits of running to be far-reaching: “Running is active meditation for me and has enriched my life in so many ways! Through training and its challenges, I’ve improved my patience and perseverance, learned how to handle adversity and negative self-talk, and overall have a greater sense of well-being.”
