What is your running "origin story?"

I ran track in high school at short distances 100, 200, and 800 meters. I competed my first marathon at age 35. I have completed at least 45 marathons.

Best/worst/funniest memory from a race?

Best memory was completing the Avenue of the Giants marathon as a Boston qualifier and the Marine Corps Marathon.

My worst memory was the St. George Marathon because I lost my friend whom I was pacing for his first marathon. I stopped for a bio-break and did not catch up to him or we kept passing each other and did not realize it.

One of funniest moments in running was after completing the Surf City Marathon with my friend, we happen to see a "Lost and Found" booth and I talked to the ladies at the booth asking them if they found my pride which I lost at mile 23.

Why do you choose to represent Terra Running Company as an Ambassador?

Terra Running Company embraces the Cleveland TN community by promoting health and fitness through running. TRC gives back to the community with it's intentional engagement with walkers, runners, and fitness-lovers at all levels. As a TRC ambassador, I would like to be a representative involved at participating in Terra's mission, vision, and values towards others.

What are your favorite 3 items in Terra? 

First the Terra Trot. It's not really an item, rather an event. Next it's the Terra Kids Running camp. Finally the Cleveland Half/5K and Thanksgiving run because it brings out the community

Favorite place to run/walk/hike in the area? 

Run and walk would be the Greenway. It convenient, safe, and has water/restrooms almost every mile. Hiking probably around Lookout Mountain for now. I'm still exploring other hiking trails

What shoe(s) are you currently running/walking in? 

Brooks Ghost and Glycerin.

What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about running or becoming more active? 

I would say have a realistic goal, be intentional about your running and/or activities, have a friend(s) share in the accountability of running and staying active.

Running is more fun with others and Terra Running Company is here to help!!!
