In their own words
Running achievement I am most proud of: Helping the U.S. team win the Silver medal at the IUA 24-Hour World Championship (2009).
Why I run: Running is a great stress-reliever and keeps me feeling young.
Future Goals: To keep improving and remain competitive in the 24-hour distance and to try other longer timed races.
Favorite quote: Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit. W. Somerset Maugham
