When I started running and what got me started:

What does running mean to me:
Time to get away and enjoy the world God gave us. Time to think and relax from the stress of life.

Running accomplishments: View my Pikes Peak Ascent/Marathon results
PPA/PPM, PP Double, Run Rabbit Run + a few other marathons

Favorite trail/mountain race and why:
PPA/PPM. The people (support and racers) are great. Always there to help and cheer you on. Friendly people can make the difference between a great race and a bad one.

Best running experience:
PPM 2008-It wasn't a fast race, just really fun!

Worst running experience:
When I was 7 my dad made me run the Sailing shoes 1st year run 1 mile kids run. I thought I was going to die. Swore I wouldn't ever run again.....We see how that worked out. I did get to run the Sailing shoes 30th run in 2008 with my Dad and that more then made up for it.
