When did you start running? I started running in August 2004 at 45 years old.

What inspires you to be active? I am inspired to run by other people that are 70+ years old and are staying fit through running.

What do you love the most about running? I love running mostly for my sense of freedom to be with my own thoughts and feeling a sense of accomplishment. The bonus is being around so many positive minded folks and friends.

What lessons have you learned from running? I have learned running keeps me sane and has made me a stronger, healthier person.

How have the Andiamo challenges motivated you? The Andiamo challenges have motivated and inspired me to keep moving. I appreciate the support and positivity the group provides.

Greatest running accomplishment: My greatest accomplishment is being inducted to the 2019 Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For my 60th birth year I traveled all over the U.S.A. running the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series. I ran 14 half marathons and 1 marathon. It was truly an adventure and memorable birth year.
