EMB #384: Age is Only a Number

Carol Burke has lived in Olds since she was married 49 years ago. A proud mother of 2 children and is lucky to have 4 grandchildren. She absolutely loves to exercise and decided to do her first run at the age of 50 years old and ever since then, she has been hooked.

This summer, she will be turning 69 years young and she doesn’t expect to slow down anytime soon. She began with 5km, then moved to 10km and on to ½ marathons before completing a full marathon 2 years ago!

Along with running, Carol enjoys taking part in many fitness classes and also enjoys backpacking. Part of staying active, she also enjoys eating healthy but does treat herself with a little sugar here and there!

As Carol would say, ‘Do It, or Lose It!’
