Places I’ve called home and why I like where I am now:
I have lived in CO since 1983, born in Minnesoooota. I love CO for the trails and mountains.

When I started running and what got me started:
I have always been active and a jogger, but got signed up for the Georgetown 1/2 marathon in 2006 and havent stopped running further and faster yet.

What does running mean to me:
I guess I havent figured out if I am running to something or away from something yet. I run to stay fit, doing new races/locations keeps it interesting, socialize. Running away from old age and slowness. I would say it is a lifestyle.
