Current location: Cleveland, Ohio

Time running:
Signing up for this marathon was the beginning of a new me. As I’ve discussed with friends, I don’t run because I want to I run because I CAN.
Who do you rely of for support?
JP and Jerry have been my motivation. I rely on support from all of my friends and surprisingly strangers to. I’ve met so many new people since signing up, all of whom are encouraging and love to give pointers or hear about my progress.
What do you like to do when you are not running?
My current activities are playing on recreational leagues (Softball, Soccer, Volleyball and Kickball) Playing with the pup Diego and walking and hiking in the metro parks. Anything fun, especially with friends!
What does it mean to be running for Team WDSRA?
 Supporting a great cause and a great friend.
What are you planning on doing immediately following the marathon?
Who knows at this point, I think it will be a visit to the ER after I fall across the finish line battling some 80 year old man to not come in last.
