Lilie Doss spent many years taking care of others.She nursed her DH for years when he was dying of cancer. Before that her mother, her father and her mother in law.After losing her husband she decided to start running.
"I did it because I wanted to live,"said Doss."I had been waiting on so many people for so long I decided it was time to to focus on myself".She was 64 when she began to run.After placing 2nd in her age group she began racing every chance she could.Eventually she began traveling the country and world with her son who was also a runner.She ran her first marathon 9 months after losing a breast to cancer.After the age of 70 she completed 3 50-Ks.Lillie has won more than 500 medals and trophies.She is now 77 and still running.
