Connie Hamilton is running for her life.
And cycling. And cross-training. And doing just about anything else she can think of to stay healthy.
“I feel great and am off all my (blood pressure and other) medications,” she said.
All in 2½ of beginning an exercise program because she was “feeling horrible.”
