I've enjoyed running all my life.

My first running experience was competing in relay races around the neighborhood when I was 6. In second grade, I ran laps around the play ground while thinking to myself that I was training; running must be coded somewhere in my genes.

I didn't start formal training until 7th grade, then moved on to High School, College and where all of us runners end up if we are lucky, Masters. 

The type of running I enjoy most is middle distance on the track. I'm currently training with the Eugene Running Club and Cathie Twomey-Bellamy is my coach. My PR in the 800m is 2:17.79 and 400m 60.2. I hope to continue enjoying the sport of Track and Field for the rest of my life with an ultimate goal being the 100 yr age group 800m record. The good news is I have another 50 years to train for it!
