My daughter Lilly, who has taught me more about life and who I am myself than anyone else ever has.

Why I run

For health/stress/weight control; for fun; to set a good example for Lilly; to have something the whole family can do together or individually; for a reason to go to a different city; to participate and work together with so many interesting people in the club.

Inspirational Quotation

"Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right." Words written by Robert Hunter.

Brief Running History

Started in 1998 as an adult and within a few years was racing with the middle pack, running the Grand Prix races and volunteering.  Now most of the races I run are with my daughter and most of my regular runs are quite recreational.
