This week, I sit down with 50 time marathon finisher, Adele Laboz. In this episode, you'll hear about Adele’s humble start and how she soon after fell in love with racing the marathon. Adele continues to find ways to share her passions with her friends and family, and shares how she has turned running into a family-fun activity. There are so many important values and lessons we can learn from her experience, but what resonates with me is Adele’s ability to build strong friendships through running and the ways she uses running as a means to give back to local charities and organizations.

Adele shares many fun and inspiring stories but it is clear that we barely touched the iceberg of her racing history! She is always glad to share stories and race-day tips. You can reach her on Instagram @AdeleLaboz
