A quotation you like… |
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only
through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,
vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved." |

Why do you run?
|
I run because I lost 2 of the most important women in my life to serious illness. I am thankful for my health and the ability to move without pain – at least most of the time ;) I also think it helps me keep a level head; gives me time to get away from all the noise of life and think things through. And talking to my friends without my kids interrupting isn’t a bad plus either. |

|
Why do you pace?
|
I have had many people meet where I am at and encourage me to accomplish whatever it was I had put my mind to. I feel that is a privilege to encourage someone to reach a goal. I would like to be able to support someone in the way that others have been there for me. |
