Here on WRS Hildee Weiss shares her truly inspiring story of becoming an athlete and runner later in life. It is indeed a journey that has forever changed Hildee. She also shares her story in greater detail in her book, Embracing My Inner Athlete. 

Hildee’s story demonstrates that it is never too late to take control of your health and to try things that are new and different and challenging, and change your life in ways that are totally unexpected. 

Back in 2014, Hilde Weiss wouldn’t have imaged that just over a decade later she’d be where she is today: at that time, her wellness was languishing and she was, in her words, a couch potato. She was prioritizing the health and wellness of others over her own, and then she turned that all on its head: she went from diminishing health, struggling with body image and self-confidence, to doing something she considered truly impossible for her, becoming a runner—in her mid forties. 

Now at 57, Hildee is looking forward to running for as long as she possibly can.
