As part of our Fitness Friday series, we're joined today by author, super athlete, multiple Iron Man contestant Dr. Ruth Hydric. Dr. Hydrich is a six-time Iron Man Triathlon finisher,

She has completed more than 60 marathons all over the world, including Boston, New York,

Moscow, and has held three world fitness records in her age group at the famed Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas.

She also was named one of the top 10 fittest women in North America in 1999.
