Two weeks ago I had the pure pleasure to interview Zoe Heineman. While Zoe is an acquaintance of mine and I’ve met her several times, I had no idea she had run two marathons and was about to run her third. While that’s impressive enough, Zoe runs with Type 1 diabetes. No easy feat.<\/p>\n
When I asked Zoe what prompted her to run marathons she said simply, “It was on my bucket list.” Zoe completed the marathon coming in with her best time ever.<\/p>\n
To learn more about how Zoe prepared for her marathon with diabetes, what moved her, literally and figuratively, and the amazing nationwide organization (Achilles<\/a>) that has athletes who run alongside anyone running with a disability or challenge, read the story I posted on\u00a0The Huffington Post<\/a>. You’ll also find out about Zoe’s passionate work helping raise awareness about hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).<\/p>\n For me, it’s always inspiring to read about ordinary folk who accomplish remarkable things.<\/p>\n Riva Greenberg is a thought leader, health coach, writer and educator showcasing the emotional side of diabetes. She has won the prestigious International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Lecture Award for diabetes education and advocacy; She’s also received recognition for her blog,\u00a0DiabetesStories<\/a>.\u00a0Riva’s latest book, Diabetes Dos & How-Tos<\/a>, is available in print and Kindle<\/a>, along with her other books, 50 Diabetes Myths That Can Ruin Your Life and the 50 Diabetes Truths That Can Save It<\/a> and The ABCs Of Loving Yourself With Diabetes.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two weeks ago I had the pure pleasure to interview Zoe Heineman.
