Runner with CF Finishes Marathon

Irvine runner with Cystic Fibrosis finishes L.A. Marathon

Aliso Viejo resident Tyler Polasek from Crean Lutheran South in Irvine took another big step by finishing theLos Angeles Marathon over the weekend.

"Tyler has Cystic Fibrosis, nevertheless, he ran an incredible time and accomplished something that many never thought would be possible," said Crean Lutheran cross country coach Tim Brink.

"Even with this condition he was still able to push through the pain and training and finish in a very respectable time of 3:11.20. Tyler plans on continuing to improve his marathon time and eventually phase into triathlons."

i am new to this site. I was on the web looking for CF people who might be running/ walking in the marathon in Hawaii. I am planning on mostly walking it. I am 65 years old, with CF and still dancing and prancing about. Actually I've struggled like hell like all of us. But right now I'm good and I want to stay that way. I want to get connected, do something for the CF world. Shout from a roof top: get going! get strong! live!

There are a ton of CFers who run! You can connect with many of them on CysticLife.org :)
