Happy Spotlight Sunday! Today we'd like to feature Karyn Mann Enslin, a returning half participant and also a member of Scranton Running Co. Barrier Breakers! Hometown? Scranton living in Olyphant. How many years have you been running? 3 years, I joined Barrier Breakers in the end of Dec 2014. How many times have you run the Scranton Half Marathon? This will be my second one What draws you to the Scranton Half Marathon this year? This year is my comeback! Due to medical issues, in October 2016, my doctor told me I was too malnourished to continue running. After months of testing, 3 stays in the hospital, 2 surgeries, a bad infection and 6 weeks with a feeding tube I was given the go ahead to start running again. So August 2017 I started back with the Barrier Breakers. Who knew it would be so hard to get back; I couldn’t even run a mile without stopping. But, here I am training for the half. What is your goal for the Scranton Half Marathon? I would like to say that I just want to finish, but the closer to the 2 hour mark I am the happier I’ll be. What is the best piece of advice you have been given or can give to fellow runners about the Scranton Half Marathon? Enjoy the day. Don’t run the race in your head thinking of what is coming next. For my fellow Barrier Breakers, Trust the Training!
