Been Running: 20 years Best Accomplishment: 2:18:30 at CIM to Quality for the Trials Pre Race: I have a lucky shirt that I wear on the day before, among other silly habits that I have picked up along the way. Topics to Talk about: I can talk about anything, I was thinking something like "Keep Showing Up" but if you need me to I can talk about anything else you think we should highlight, like 'race day plan, Training Plan, Seriousness, Preparation Matters, even super shoes if you want. Feel free to give me a call, I am down for whatever. 365 Days ago: It was surreal to toe the line and get after it with all the pros. It was a freaking awesome weekend. Thanks for the shout outs. Thanks again for helping me get there. You taught me a ton and I appreciate ALL the support! |
