Yolanda Holder / The Walking Diva

With her second book, Misty Blue: 3100 Miles of Smiles and Pain, to be published soon, Holder hopes to help dissolve negative stigma around powerwalkers and race walkers, she says. “Runners can look down on walkers, feeling like they’re more superior. I’ve had joggers or slower runners catch up to me and make smart remarks. I’ve been pushed and told to get out of the way. We share the same road.” https://www.irunfar.com/2021/04/werunfar-profile-yolanda-holder.html Holder is also excited to help set the bar for the next generation of athletes. “The ladies in their forties are completely badass. I’m setting an example for those athletes as they get older. By the time they hit their sixties, they’ve gotta’ break Yolanda’s record.”  #AND3RSON #HeartFailureSurvivor #EnduranceAthlete In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life. The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure.   This Vlog / Podcast documents my Sixth Decade of Endurance Training. The past Decade was about HOW FAR I could go.  This Decade will be about HOW FAST can I go post Congestive Heart Failure. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON #AND3RSON #HeartFailureSurvivor #EnduranceAthlete In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks.
