Joan Benoit Samuelson

At my alma mater we were fortunate to hear Joan Benoit Samuelson speak at the community event "Moving through Life". Joan was the Olympic gold medalist in the inaugural women's marathon in Los Angeles in 1984. She spoke about her career in her talk entitled "There is no Finish Line". What an inspiration to hear this 58 year-old woman speak about fitness and her current life of enjoying a healthy lifestyle and running many races, including marathons.
