Katie Sutton’s comeback continued Sunday when she finished second in the Capitol Hill Classic 3K in Washington D.C.
Sutton finished in 11 minutes, 28 seconds, well ahead of her seven-minute per mile pace in the St. Patrick’s Day 5-mile run in March.
Brief recap: Sutton won the 2007 St. Pat’s run but was diagnosed with breast cancer three months later. Since resuming her training in January, she has kept a detailed, self-effacing and humorous log of her workouts. Katie can make you laugh and cry in alternate breaths, making her comeback story all the more compelling.
