| A little bit about me |
| I ran
X-country in high school and actually ran fairly well back then.
I missed qualifying for the "All England" High School
championships by 2 spots! Then I did nothing for 20 years!
Since then, I have run 2 marathons, 21 half marathons and lots of
short races. |
| Best discipline |
Finding the
short cut - at any distance! |
| Worst discipline |

| Ambitions |
To start
doing some races again |
| Best moment |
My second
marathon (RVM). I felt great for the entire race |
| Worst moment |
My first
marathon (also RVM). My big toenail came unhinged at one
mile to go and I had to finish with one
shoe off. |
| My best results |

| Advice(tip) |
Find a group
of friends and run together regularly - it's cheaper than therapy! |
