Why do you run?

I love a good challenge, and there’s always room for improvement with running. It’s a great stress reliever, too! |

|
Describe your best marathon memory.
|
I ran my first marathon with my husband before we were married, and we crossed the finish line together. Qualifying for Boston was a goal for a very long time, so crossing that finish line under my goal will always be one of my favorite memories. |

I was a board member & Vice President of the Orlando Runners
Club for 6 years. We organized races and volunteer at local events like the
Disney Marathon and OUC Orlando Half Marathon. The club offers scholarships
to high school runners headed off to college, and we support a Japanese
runner exchange program with Orlando’s Sister City, Urayasu.
