I have two unbelievably adorable children who I encourage to run and hike. Aiden, who is five years old, has participated in three track meets and Liam who has three climbed the Fanning Trail entirely unassisted (and without prodding) when he was two. I started running because I was very bored and couldn't think of anything better to do. Once I discovered how much fun it was and what a wonderful running community we have here, there was no question I made the right decision. Running ultramarathons is much more exciting than watching television all day! Short Term Goals: Break 17 minutes in the 5K, break three hours in the marathon, and break five minutes in the mile. Long Term Goals: Break five hours at Strolling Jim 41.2 mile run, run Massanutten Mountain hundred miler, run a 4:45 mile, and coach other runners on an individual basis. Community Involvement: Member of board of directors at St. Stephens Episcopal Church Child Development Center and Vice President of Huntsville Electro-Optical Society.
