TWIN STREAKS - Vince

 

Vince's completion of the 80-day Streak to Restore Sanity (STRS in Vince's terms) was an impressive accomplishment, but his journey from a being pack-a-day smoker to a runner capable of completing the Army 10 miler at a 10-minute pace is truly amazing.  Vince's experience shows that it is never too late to get healthy.

 

Way to go Vince!!!!
