“It’s something I’ll never forget. It’s a big lesson in terms of what you can do when you set your mind to something intimidating and smile at that intimidating goal,” Morrey said. “My whole life has kind of been like that—trying to go after huge goals and not really caring about whether I failed at anything. I have a bigger fear of potential regret than I do a fear of failure and I think that is taking me far in my life.
In her 40-49 age group, Morrey was one of 23 women who ran under three hours at CIM. Her performance was almost five minutes faster than her personal best from 2000, which she ran at age 24.“I think you can do a lot when you’re 44, and I just love that women are still striving [at this age],” she said. “I think a big part of it is seeing other women like me and having that renewed belief in myself that it’s not too late. Good things can happen if you take care of your body.
After she hit the standard at CIM, Morrey received several encouraging messages from her soccer players who congratulated her on the achievement. In weekly practice with their coach, the girls have grown to understand what that OTQ meant to her. Morrey’s hope is that her athletes connect with her story and be courageous in their own lives.
“It’s not even a choice for me. It’s a responsibility for me to give back and to be a positive light for these girls,” Morrey said.
