Still running

“Sport doesn't build character...it reveals it.”

City: Colorado Springs State: Co

Favorite Shoe: Sandal

Age: 46.1 years old

Marital Status: Single

Places I’ve called home and why I like where I am now:
Duluth MN, very cold, water bottles freeze quickly in winter and an assortment of bugs that like to bite in the summer.
Stewartville MN.

When I started running and what got me started:
Summer of 1996 saw a bunch of crazy runners with glow sticks go past our camp site at 5ish in the morning than saw the same group later in the day some 50 miles from that camp site but now makeing the return trip back (Leadville trail 100 runners). Thought that was just wrong-never heard of anything like that before happening in that type of terrain.

Over the following years kept remembering that weekend and those crazy running people; so in the fall of 2004 started running (just to try it out) and now can't imagin not running.

What does running mean to me:
No guilt while eating ice cream after a hard run.

Running accomplishments:
Finding a pair of shoes that fit the feet.

Running pet peeves:
debris that gets into the shoe.
