President

My running started in 2004, only about 20 years after I tried and failed to run in high school. I always thought I had it in me, but it felt so good to survive those first few months of becoming a runner and making my daydreams a reality. Now I enjoy many of the big and small races Southern Maryland has to offer. I've raced the Lower Potomac Marathon many times now, and every year seems better than the last. Running is completely enjoyable on its own, and I do my best thinking while out on a long run. Racing gives me a charge to push myself like nothing else I've found. Running with a race in mind ties all of that together and gets me out there on the road on days I might not. So whether it's a 5k next week or a marathon six months down the road, I run these days with goals in mind and a reason to take that first step out the door.

My first running phase was back in 1984; I signed up for a class in the spring that promised to train me to do a 10K on Mother's Day. I kept signing up for the training groups the other runners were doing and ended the fall with the Marine Corps Marathon. I intended to keep up with running, but then other things took higher priority. I repeated the "start running" and "do other stuff" phases in 1992 and 1994. My husband and two sons stay fit through cycling, hiking, and running. I decided I needed to do something about my fitness level and weight, so I started running more seriously in the past couple of years. I am a "back of the pack" runner and aspire to be faster, but I am enjoying running and am grumpy the days I can't be outside.
