Brief Biography
Started distance running at 40 in order to qualify for the Boston Marathon and did so. After running Boston, was hooked and transitioned my training from 3 days of running per week, up to the 70-100 miles per week now. After seeing the Mountain Mist 50K course markings while on a training run, decided to try the race the next year. 50K is now my favorite distance! I had an up and down year in 2010, with PRs at 10K, 10 mile, half marathon and marathon, but also sustained a couple of major injuries that set training back several weeks. I am excited for 2011, and hoping for more PRs in the spring and fall.

Long Term Goals
Sub 2:40 marathon, sub 4:20 Mountain Mist 50K, sub 3:50 50K, finish JFK 50 mile
