Finished a degree at 52 and ran a marathon at 57
Ruth Alvarez · 58 · Albuquerque, NM
“I wasn't behind. I was on a different schedule than the one I was handed.”
In short
Raised three kids, went back for the degree she'd deferred at 19, got her first salaried job at 55, then decided her body deserved a project too.
Hardest part
Walking into a classroom where I was older than the professor.
