Nickname…they call me everything but a child of God.
I experienced AREC…23 years ago on the last Wednesday in July, 1981.
I run with AREC…for one reason and one reason only, for fun. If you're running for any other reason, you're running for the wrong reason.
When I'm not running, I…drink beer and make mad passionate love--not necessarily in that order.
Favorite brand of running shoes…I don't have a favorite. I can run in just about any shoe brand except for Avia--I've had problems in the past.
Running mantra…"One foot in front of the other."
When I run I think about…Focus and concentrate on the run--I don't think about anything except that.
Best training tip…1.) Hard and easy days, alternating, and 2.) One complete total rest day--no cross-training. If you're under 40, you might get away with running 7 days a week but over 40, 6 days maximum.
I have learned…as everyone says and you read, listen to your body but don't just listen to your body, understand what it's saying
Running has helped me…meet a lot of great people.
I love…waking up in the morning and fogging the mirror up on my bedside stand.
I hate…being injured.
My biggest pet peeve…well I have a lot…people with battleship mouths and rowboat asses.
I want…to have fun running for the rest of my life--it's a pursuit--a long running, healthy life.
