Running on instinct

摘要

Running marathons requires a mountain of stamina; the ability to smash through pain barriers. Sharon Davies is a recent convert. In the past two years the 35-year-old has competed in seven leading marathons - including Melbourne, Paris, and in LA, where she made the top seven percent of all women finishers. Sharon's business career has required stamina too -and there have been considerable challenges and pain along her journey. And what a journey. It started early in 1999, when she was just 19, with summer camp in the US and nannying in the UK. A year later, back home in Auckland, Sharon was offered a consulting role at a temping agency, "building a desk from scratch within the advertising industry".
