#23 | Aracely Richardson
Episode description
Aracely Richardson's first race was the 2016 Houston Marathon, which she signed up for after a friend talked her into it. Cely was so new to running that she didn't know she had just committed to running 26.2 miles. After running that first race in just over 5 hours, without her friend who didn't make it to the starting line, Cely was hooked on the distance. And over the next two years cut one hour and 48 minutes off her PR!
Cely talks about how joining a running club was a game changer for her, that time a coach told her she would never qualify for Boston, why she is fundraising for 2nd Cup for the 2022 Houston Marathon, and what it's like running as a woman of color in Houston.
