Back Your Badge Marathon

Meet Ambassador Ruby Cline-Eaton

I'm Ruby Cline-Eaton known locally as A Runners Mom & More. I was born & raised in Northern Indiana and came to Ky as part of a startup team for work, I retired in 2016. I got into walk/running accidentally because of my daughter. While attempting to go from one spot to another for her running pictures during a race event, I was so out of breath it was terrible! I decided then I had to do something.

I have RA so getting started was a struggle to say the least. I have continued for health benefits, Motion is Lotion!

I began signing up for Virtual race events and was proud of every medal I managed to 'earn'. I then began doing some live competitive events as well several years ago going on Race'Cations with my daughter and her friends. 

While I'm out and about getting in my steps it gives me a chance to mentally reset, enjoy the scenery and the changing of the seasons. 

My recent race was the Norton Sports Health 4-miler placing 2nd in my age group. I go into a race with only the thoughts of 3.1 miles of Healthy Steps, 3.1 miles of Healthy Lifestyle, 3.1 miles of showing & encouraging other older athletes we can do this.

During my Monday morning radio segment on local station WHIR1230AM I talk about all things running/walking/hiking/fitness for all ages.

There's no such thing as perfect weather for races & running but there's always perfect adventures when you attend race events and get to meet new people young & old. 

 

Thanks for considering me !
