Running Start:

On April 14, 2008, I ran my first race--the Lakefront 10 Miler. I was in my early 40s and had not trained or done much running prior to that. I was so excited about my performance that after the race I went home and registered for the Chicago Marathon six months later.

Fun Facts:

Completed the 6 World Marathon Majors twice in a 9 month period
Have an 11 year streak for both the Boston and Chicago Marathons
Took me 12 years of running to join a team, work with a coach and follow a program
