The former NASCAR and IndyCar drive explained running the marathon was something to cross off her bucket list.
"I have always wanted to run a marathon. From being a kid when I was still living with my parents, running with my mom in the mornings and that being really my only form of a workout. Fast forward many years later, it’s one of those things where I thought to myself for so long, ‘I just want to run a marathon someday. Before I die, I want to run a marathon.’ It’s a really big physical and mental challenge, and I like challenges. It’s my only bucket list item, so here we go. I can die after October 11," she told Boston.com last week.
