Dr. Awele Elumelu
By Osita Chidoka
My woman crush and wife of Tony Elumelu the unstoppable Dr. Awele, has done it again — Marathon No. 6 in the bag — and this time, it’s the Tokyo Marathon! I bow for her, this is not mean feat. Runners will agree with me: 42k no be moi moi.
At 54, she’s out here smashing limits, proving that with grit and focus, nothing is off-limits — not even 42km of sheer mental and physical battle.
Young friends, what’s your excuse? If Dr. Awele can lace up, push through pain, exhaustion, and doubt, and cross that finish line, so can you — in whatever challenge life throws your way.
A marathon isn’t just a race — it’s a journey of mental toughness, personal discipline, sacrifice, and unwavering determination. It’s early mornings, strict diets, injuries, pain, exhaustion — and still showing up.
But crossing that finish line? That’s the ultimate reward — the pride of mission accomplished, the mental toughness earned, and the pure joy of knowing you conquered the impossible. A proof that you’re stronger than any obstacle.
Dr. Awele’s story reminds us — whatever your marathon is, whether personal, academic, or professional — prepare for it, commit to it, and most importantly, finish it.
Be inspired. Go chase your marathon — whatever it is — and own it!
Congratulations to Dr Awele, wife, mother, medical doctor and entreprenuer.
