A runner since her freshman year of high school, Lilibet Snellings Kyte, 41, was diagnosed with multiple-sclerosis about five years ago. Now instead of marathon finishes and record times, she sees the victory as simply running, putting one foot in front of the other, regardless of for how long or how far. And the best days are usually when her son Peter Kyte Jr, 8, is out there with her, cheering her on with words of encouragement. A quick stretch before the run to loosed up some stiff muscles and she’s off and running. (photo by Melissa Lyttle)
