For 30 years she’s been producing running races and though the 69 year old may be pulling back a little, it doesn’t sound like she’s slowing her pace at all.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s still president of In Motion Inc.<\/strong>, the family-run company she founded, whose marquee event is Sunday\u2019s Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon. But she stepped back last May, passing day-to-day operations to her daughter, Christine Adams<\/strong>.. . \u201cIt was time,\u201d Flanagan said.. . .The woman is hardly sitting at home, waiting to baby-sit the 11 grandkids. . . She\u2019s taking two art classes. One room at home is reserved for her work, which apparently is improving. . . She works out with a personal trainer twice a week, runs 18 to 24 miles a week and if you called the office, it was Flanagan answering the phone this week. . . \u201cI will probably always work,\u201d said Flanagan, who has cut her schedule back from 50 to 15 to 20 hours. \u201cI don\u2019t like to use the word retire. I think it\u2019s a bad word. I\u2019m transitioning. To retire, rest, that\u2019s not for me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
