Why do you run?
|
I remember trying to conquer a hard hill when I was a youth. My little legs running all out and then cresting the hill. Something about running makes me whole. |

|
Describe your best marathon memory.
|
So many - Each race holds some significance. My first one still has to be my favorite, as I ran without ceasing, in a very low key event on a cold icy day in Boise Idaho. My hands were freezing in sub 30 degree weather. My shoe strings had ice on them. Still I finished in 3:13. The weather just made me feel alive. |

Running in the Jeff Galloway 13.1 - 2014 I remember all of the PR's set as we ran together. Such a wonderful time we had sharing our Running Passion.

Anything else you’d like to share? |
Yes, as we go for it may we all "Run-Walk-Run like the wind." Also, as we run, some experiences I can share with you include what it feels like to have completed the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon, the Florida Ironman and additionally 14 Hood-to-Coast relays. We will be talking pacing, sliding and gliding, shuffling and mind over matter. This is the Run-Walk-Run journey. In doing this, I hope to learn more about you and your goals and how to make you experience the running success you so desire. So let's do it together.
