I was not a runner as a kid. Sure, I ran, but it was always part of something else, like soccer. I discovered running as a way to maintain fitness and enjoy the challenge and camaraderie of racing as an adult. At many races, I enjoy seeing the variety of ages and capabilities represented, and I hope to be a runner for the rest of my life! I periodically write about my races, with race reports below. You can also take a look at my race schedule, results, and race reports.
