After 2 years removed from the marathon and a year battling serious injury, Columbus Running Company Elite athlete Sakiko Minigawa ran the California International Marathon last week chasing the Olympic Trials standard. Despite the obstacles, and perhaps because of them, she raced to a new personal best of 2:35:52. As Booker T. Washington wrote, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” By that measure, Sakiko has reached the pinnacle of running success. She joins us this week to share her experience of training, persevering, and ultimately excelling.
