Our neighborhood streets and trails served as training ground for the new Guinness World Record for marathon running holder.
We have written about White Rock area resident Angela Tortorice’s feats of charity and stamina. The Marathon Maniac told the Advocate a couple years ago about her three marathons in three days, 10 double marathons and running a marathon in all 50 states. Twice.
“I don’t necessarily think I’m good at running,” she said at the time. “I’m good at endurance.”
This, needs no proof. However there is proof in the form of a certificate from the Guinness World Records. She has been declared “officially amazing” for running the most marathons in a calendar by a woman — 129 of them — between September 2012 and August 2013.
