From Couch Potato to Ultra Runner Inspires Family
Thad Hanks shed weight and embraced endurance racing. In under a year he went from a 250 pound couch potato to completing the Detroit Marathon in under five hours to qualify for ultramarathon training. He finished a 50K in Pinckney, Michigan, dead last but achieved his goal. His transformation inspired his wife sister-in-law and brothers-in-law to take up running and writing again.
