In their own words...

Running achievement I am most proud of: Being crowned the USA National 50 km Trail Champion in 2005

Why I run: I have loved running since childhood and I believe it is a gift.

Future Goals: To encourage children to run. Running, as well as other physical sports, can give growing children a sense of empowerment and competence. To compete and improve at all ultra distances with a focus on 50 Mile and 100 km distances (road and trail).
