Sipping Lemonade With A Queen: What Mrs. Lucia Bacote James Taught Me on the Legacy Lives Podcast About Legacy, Faith, and Aging in Full Bloom

There is a moment in Growing Together: Legacy Lives, a podcast hosted by the brilliant mother-daughter duo Dr. Jenée and Dr. Chloé Walker, who have West Virginia roots of their own, when the host describes listening to Mrs. Lucia Bacote James as sitting on a grand porch in Atlanta, sipping lemonade from crystal glasses. I know exactly what she means. When I first pressed play on the episode, “Generational Wisdom: Aging with Grace,” I didn’t realize I was about to receive a masterclass, not just in aging gracefully, but in living fully, loving fiercely, and leaving something behind that matters.

Local man runs for 24 hours

It’s one thing to complete a marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K race — which all can be done in a span of minutes or hours — but a Mount Airy man has managed to run for an entire day. This occurred when Charles Hiatt took on the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge from Oct. 30-31 in Mint Hill, near Charlotte. Unlike some races with spread-out courses, the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge involves a 1.35-mile loop that participants run over and over — “and over again,” Hiatt stated with a note of humor. The local man, an employee of Eagle Carports in Mount Airy, started the event on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. and finished on 7 p.m. the next day to cap what organizers call “a festive, Halloween-themed test of endurance.” While the running career of the former two-pack-per-day smoker previously included completing three World Marathon Majors in Boston, Chicago and most recently Sydney, Australia, he was a bit leery about the late-October event. “Running for 24 hours straight was definitely my biggest challenge yet,” Hiatt acknowledged.
