Congratulations to local runner and author Hildee Weiss on the release of her memoir, Embracing My Inner Athlete.

At 46, Hildee made a decision that would change her life — to put herself first and get moving. What started as a single step, guided by her personal trainer and running buddy Jeff Yannarell, became a journey of resilience, self-discovery, and crossing finish lines she never imagined possible. From 5Ks to half marathons, Hermes Sports & Events has been there for many of those milestones — and Hildee credits the Hermes community as a cornerstone of her story.

In Embracing My Inner Athlete, Hildee shares the real, unfiltered experience of becoming an athlete later in life — for anyone who has ever told themselves it’s too late to start.

Available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Library Tales Publishing, Mac’s Backs and The Checkered Shelf.
