BOSTON — Paula Broadwell, a retired military officer and West Point graduate, is an accomplished athlete. Seventeen years ago she completed her first marathon, averaging a seven-minute mile. Now, she is looking to complete her second marathon next week in the nation's most famous footrace, the Boston Marathon. This time however, she will not be running for herself, but to raise awareness for Grab the Torch, an organization designed to empower young women to become leaders.
