Justin Gillette crosses the finish line and the crowd goes wild, but the feeling is insurmountable to the love of his family. Gillette has run roughly 150 marathons, winning 77 of them, possibly making him one of the decorated marathoners in the world.
Along with his running he has children. Gillette has two kids Jasmine who is one and Miles who is four. Justin runs an average of 110 miles a week about 80 of which are pushing a baby stroller.
“Between the running and the diapers it keeps me busy,” said Gillette. Though Gillette loves the sweet taste of victory he loves his kids much more. “Kids are more fun than winning a race any how.”
Not only does Gillette love to run with his kids he loves to run with his wife. He is proud when both he and his wife come home with identical victory trophies. He has been running and watching the kids to support his wife while she was getting her PhD at the University of Notre Dame.
