Outlook on Running:: My Mom first started running
about 8 years ago when she was early 50's, she asked me "what do you do
when you feel like you can't possibly take another step?" I answered "youtake another step". We always laugh about it and she says she thinks about it when she is racing sometimes.

Also, I am trying to get smarter, but my outlook on running is if you don't come close to puking during your workout, it wasn't a good one.

What Most People Don't Know about You!

I never ran competitively in high school or college, I needed something to fuel my competitive fire after college soccer so I started running.

I coach Women's Lacrosse on the collegiate level, ten years ago when I started, I had never seen the game played, it was added to my then soccer
coaching duties.
