Levenson described her weekday runs with her friend as her “hour of chit-chat.” All the runners said that the marathon is definitely an achievable goal for anyone with enough determination and ambition. “I remember when I started running, I thought one mile was impossible. You just slowly, slowly add miles. If I can do it, anyone...
