Personal goals

Run until I am 80

Why do you run?

I began running about 4 years ago to prove I could do it.  I have run mostly short distance events; 5K, 10K, and Halfs this year.

Describe your best marathon memory.

Star Valley Half Marathon was like running in your own hometown.  Everyone waved a the runners and made us feel welcome.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Let’s build some stories together.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I am positive and want to encourage other runners to get the joy out of running that I feel.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Run with a smile and always have fun.

Anything else you’d like to share?

I consider myself a runner and I have had so much fun with others that are runners that I wonder why it took me until the age of 50 to find this out.

What philanthropic activities do you have?

I support and run in any event which directly affects an athlete or his/her family.
