Long-Term Running Goals:

Just to be able to stay healthy and continue to run is my main goal, but I would also like to complete all 6 of the World Majors.  I have London & Tokyo left to achieve this.

Most Memorable Race:

Every race has something memorable, good, or bad.  But running my first Boston Marathon in 2022 was such a great experience.  I ran it with a large contingent from my team and had great weather that day.  After working so hard to qualify and then actually getting to run this course was an experience I won’t forget.

Fun Facts:

  • I have run the Hill Striders Half Marathon the last 2 years and had the exact same pace of 7:13. I also ran 2 other half marathons in the same time period with a 7:13 and 7:14 pace.  At least I am consistent.

  • When I fold my laundry all my shirts must be folded the same way, and the same size.  My shirts that are hung must align as well, with equal distance between hangers and the sleeves all lined up.  (Almost 30 years post Marine Corps, and I can’t let it go!)
