Lynn Salvo’s Challenges for Life: 80x80 Movement -  5 Minute Success - The Podcast

1999 was a turning point for me. I was about to turn 50 and the world was about to undergo a millennium change. I started a business, a PhD program, and I started running to balance out the other two pursuits. 

  

2002: I ran my first marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon. 

  

2003: I ran the Boston Marathon. 

  

2004 - 2010: I did numerous triathlons, up to the half Ironman distance. Then I had rotator cuff surgery and quit swimming, so no more triathlons. 

  

2007 on: I rode a "century" (100 miles) about once a year for several years. 

  

2014: I sold my business and retired. 

  

2015: I cycled across the US with a small group called Ride to Awareness for mental health awareness. 

  

2016: I cycled across the US again cycling on my own but with a support car/driver and set my first Guinness World Record. 

  

2018: I cycled across Canada and set my second Guinness World Record.
