Greatest life adventure: I’ve had a pretty non-adventurous life… but back when I was showing my dogs it used to be fun to every weekend load up the wagon with the dogs and show gear and hit the highways all over the western states for a different town every weekend.
Favorite vacation destination: Canada - I loved the Calgary area (Lake Louise, Kananaskis).

When did you join New Basin Blues: about 5 years ago
Favorite race distance: 10 miles
Greatest personal running achievement: I just qualified for Boston
Memorable running moments: my first LA Marathon- with practically no training: until 2 weeks prior, the longest I’d ever run was a 10K. Also-a few years ago at Malibu Creek-it was just turning dusk and I was climbing the little single track out to Mulholland at the end and trying to catch up with the group-and there was a deer about 5 feet from me-he raised his head but didn’t move as I ran past - pretty awesome for Los Angeles.
Greatest running regret: not realizing the possibilities of running several decades sooner
Favorite running shoes: New Balance 763 and for track Reebok premier competition
Running injuries: almost none - I’ve got a hamstring that’s always sore for the last couple of years, but it doesn’t get much better or worse, so I ignore it. Also, I lose toenails regularly after marathons.

10K: ?
5K: 23:15 St Monica’s
Mile: 7:50 last year at track- Haven’t timed a mile lately
Typical marathon training mileage: about 55 miles/week
Favorite marathon and why: California International Marathon- I achieved my goal there and loved the course. It’s a slight downhill slope much of the way including the last miles with aid stations almost every mile during the latter miles of the race, and encouraging spectators all along the course. They also served tomato soup after the race.
Do you run ultras: not yet
If no, do you want to run ultras: perhaps
What’s next on your running agenda: I’m a little between goals right now. I never thought I would ever qualify for Boston and it just happened, so I need to find a new goal.
