Reason for joining Northstar:  Friends and running outdoors beats paying a therapist

Running Goals:

• Short-term: Stay healthy enough to easily run 10 miler trail runs

Proudest Running Achievement: Philly Marathon PR a year after ACL

Typical training week, a month or two before a major race: My focus is distance and endurance, and no injuries. Speed is secondary. So I work up to running 4-5 days/week, and no more than 35 miles/week. Mix in strength training and yoga.

Running idol: Meb Keflezighi, Carl Lewis

Injuries: ACL years ago. These days knee and ankle ligaments flare up. Lots of arthritis in the family, so expect that is in my future.
