Mrs. Burke Achieves Marathon Goal

After completing 10 half marathons, Mrs. Martha Burke, an MCC guidance counselor, decided to challenge herself and train for a full. She registered for the Space Coast Marathon and committed to 18 weeks of training. Running the 26.2 miles on Sunday was extremely challenging especially at mile 21 when she realized she still had five miles left. She finished with a time of 4:29:34 barely making her goal of 4:30 and was thrilled that friends and family met her at the finish line to celebrate. She is looking forward to running the Melbourne Beaches Half Marathon in February and hopes others from the MCC community will join.
