There are so many things I love about running! It's adventure, it's speed and simplicity.  It's a individual sport and is such an integral part of my life, and hope to run for a very long time! I have run 18 marathons including one full IronMan(~14 hours) and 17 individual marathons and a few half marathons.  My marathon PR is 2:59 in Portland Oregon, this was one of my life goals to break the 3 hour mark.  I have met several of my best friends through running, some life long friends.  I will be coaching PM track and hills sessions.
