Long-Term Running Goals:

To continue finding deep satisfaction in running and the training process so that I never have to stop.

Running Start:

After running in high school I didn't lace up again for 34 years. During that time I battled chronic leukemia which I finally got into remission. After reading a Lauren Fleshman article about 5K running, I did a couch-to-5K program. I ran the Flying Turkey that fall in 22:22 and then I ran all winter through ice and cold and realized how much I loved running, more than I ever did in high school. In no time I shaved three minutes off my time, won a park run ... and I was hooked!

Fun Facts:

My hometown is Billings, Montana.
I make soup for my co-working space every Wednesday.
I have four wonderful grandchildren in their teens and 20s.
