Marathoner Robin Hornberger says her first run was Pitiful but she stayed with it

Robin Hornberger, a teacher in the Cincinnati, Ohio Area is planning on running 12 marathons in 2018 to raise $500,000 for charity. “I wish people didn’t automatically think they cannot be a runner because their first attempt at running did not go well. My first run was pitiful,” she said. “It’s amazing how quickly your fitness can improve. Running can also be enjoyable and a confidence booster...it doesn’t have to be hard and difficult ... it also allows me to know my city a lot better. I love living in Cincinnati a lot more than before I became a runner,” she says.
