It is a given fact that we are all born naked. As young children and adolescents, we learn how to wear clothing and appreciate fashion sense. As many of us begin our running careers, we remember the charm of adolescence and the bare look. Proper clothing is important in any athletic event, including marathon running.

The feisty, optimistic vegan is not bashful about sharing her opinions after surviving more than most throughout her action-packed life. She’s an author, speaker, lifestyle coach, marathoner, cancer survivor and if you saw the award-winning documentary film “Forks over Knives,” she appeared in that, too. Dare we add that Dr. Ruth is a great-grandmother and former military logistics engineer whose life story has taken our collective breath away?
