Episode 2: Marathon Goddess Julie Weiss on How Fighting for a Greater Purpose Inspired Her to Conquer 52 Marathons in 52 Weeks

Powered By Purpose with Deb Carson

How can you turn devastating circumstances into the motivation to conquer a seemingly impossible goal? Julie Weiss shares how losing her father to pancreatic cancer just 35 days after his diagnosis fueled her determination to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks to increase awareness about the disease and raise one million dollars in research funds. During her journey, Julie became known as the Marathon Goddess, and was even profiled in the documentary Spirit of the Marathon II.
You’ll learn about Julie’s balancing act as she competed in 52 marathons from Rome to Hawaii and across the continental USA, all while working a full-time job and raising teenagers. She shares how she tackled three marathons in three consecutive days in Lake Tahoe, battled high altitude as she raced in Colorado, and had to pivot at the last minute to find a different race after Super Storm Sandy caused the last-minute cancellation of the New York City Marathon.
You’ll be inspired by Julie’s encouragement to Never Give Up on your dreams, to listen to your body, to take care of your body and mind, and to make self-care a priority. You’ll also be reminded that you can change someone’s day, and maybe their world, with a smile and some kindness.
