Words From A World Champion

June 2nd, 2009 at 8:37 pm by Ryan Oilar under Healthy Living

This last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Xterra World Champion Jamie Whitmore.  She is an incredible person with a can-do attitude and a story to tell.  I found myself thinking of her words as I ran tonight, in the thunderstorm.  She talked about enjoying your training, racing, and thinking about how good it feels to swim/bike/run.  See, Jamie, former World Champion has been fighting for her life.  Her story is both heartfelt and inspirational.  She can no longer swim, run, or ride a bike.  She walks with a limp, but carries a smile.   She is battling cancer, and now has to have a  kidney moved to a different location in her body.  If you have time, please visit:  www.jamiewhitmore.com and read her story.  She truly is a fighter!!!
