Sheinelle has three young children and a high pressure job she has to travel for often, but she's determined to make time for the things that are important to her.
And she's putting that mindset to the test by running the New York City Marathon.
"When I turned 40, I wanted to change the narrative in my head that I can do hard things, and so I ran a half marathon, and I swore I would never do it again," she said."It was very difficult, after it was over, my legs were like, 'What just happened?' And so now I just turned 45, and I'm going to try to do hard things again. And so I'm going to run the New York City Marathon.
"Everybody's been telling me I'm crazy. My assistant here at work, she said, 'What are you doing?' My uncle ... he said, 'What are you doing?' And everybody's biggest critique is that I don't have time," she said. "Everybody says we don't have time, but we do have time to make time for ourselves. I have to be about that," she said."And so whether it takes scheduling, because I pick up my kids every day from school, I am just going to figure it out and change the narrative that we can't do things because we don't have time."
