Super-Running Nun!

To round out the recent spate of posts about running nuns, I just want to salute Immaculate Heart of Mary Sr. Beth Wood, who won her division at the Detroit Marathon in October.

Oh, and she was 80 years old at the time.

Sister has run 10 full marathons. What is that draws her to running? She tells CathNews USA:
"You can do it by yourself, it doesn't cost anything, you can do any schedule," Wood said. "It gives you a chance to thank God for your good health, that's big for me. A lot of people could do it if they had the health. So I hope as long as I have good health, I'll keep running."
Amen, St. Beth!
