An international hand therapist by trade, this Brentwood resident is among only 10 people to have competed in the
Rock “n” Roll Marathon (either running the full or half) every year since 2000. Admittedly a late bloomer, the 66-year-
old explains her goal is to be the “last man standing,” Mary also reveals why her husband is her inspiration. Her streak
includes fighting adversity, at 7,000 feet, a heartful thank you to a police officer and which competitors should be
tasered (not really). AMONG THE TOPICS: KICKING THE HABIT, WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE YOUR PARENTS
WISELY, WHY RUNNING ISN’T WHAT TAKES HER TO KENYA, AND HOW RUNNING CLEARS HER MIND.
