Suddenly cast into the spotlight as a representative of the entire Jewish people, how will Beatie handle the pressure? Can she still be a good wife and mother? Can she stay true to her values as an orthodox Jewish woman? Is her ambition really enough to make it to the elite level of Olympic Marathon runners and achieve the qualifying time of 2:29:30?
To quote Beatie, “Life is so much more than winning races or becoming famous … the only thing that truly defines us is the choices we make to expand our self, At the end of my life, that’s the only thing I’m going to take with me. I’m here to develop my soul to its fullest.”
In Marathon Mom, we watch her race to do just that.
