Description

When she started running at the age of 35, Suzy Seeley never dreamed all the places running would take her. A busy mom with two young kids and an advertising business, Suzy had little time for herself. She picked up the hobby of running as a way to stay healthy, and almost three decades later, she has been around the world, earned two world records, and collected more than a few stories to tell about it. An inspiration to everyone who knows her, Suzy's story will encourage anyone who reads it. Hers is a story of strength, resiliency, and grit with a huge side of humility.

"She can inspire women to do things they never thought they could do and then do it better than they ever thought they could do. To me that's what she represents. If you ever had a doubt in your mind, look at her, and if you ever put a limitation on what you thought you could do, look at her. " - Lisa Tilton, fellow runner
