Following in Olympians’ Footsteps: Kyrsten Sinema Runs Marathon in Paris
Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema recently had the unique opportunity to run on the same marathon course as Olympians in a special race for amateur runners in Paris. This event marked the first time that everyday runners were able to experience the same course used for the marathon earlier in the day.
Sinema, a fitness enthusiast with a passion for endurance sports, has a history of competing in marathons and Ironman triathlons. She has tackled challenges like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and hiking Mount Fuji. Her dedication to fitness and love for running led her to participate in the Marathon Pour Tous (Marathon For All), where she completed the race in 4:48.48.
Starting her running journey in high school, Sinema described herself as a late bloomer who gradually improved over time. Running became a source of stress relief and social connection for her, allowing her to enjoy the sport while staying active.
Despite a demanding schedule as a Congresswoman, Sinema makes time for daily training sessions. She emphasized the importance of dedication and early mornings in balancing her athletic pursuits with her professional responsibilities.
With an impressive athletic resume that includes competing in Ironman triathlons and various races, Sinema’s commitment to fitness is evident. She continues to prioritize physical activity to maintain her health and well-being.
While in Paris, Sinema appreciated the anonymity she experienced compared to the constant recognition in the U.S. She expressed admiration for the Olympic athletes who inspire her and praised the unity and spirit of the games.
Looking ahead to the upcoming election, Sinema emphasized the importance of unity and problem-solving in politics. She encouraged voters to seek candidates who prioritize collaboration and effective solutions over mere rhetoric.
As she juggles her responsibilities and fitness regimen, Sinema remains focused on her message of inclusivity and cooperation, both in sports and politics.
