How did you start running?

I was never an athlete growing up. I started running to quit smoking and lose weight. I quit smoking and lost 80 pounds. Ran my first marathon in 3:06. I think the first step in the journey of a breakthrough is setting our limits aside.

Tell us an interesting fact/something fun about you?

I played the piano for over 20 years growing up. I think there is actually a connection between the rhythm of music and the rhythm of running.
