I love trail running the best!!

One of my favorite places is Pocahontas State Park! I love to go early in the morning when no one is there and I have the whole park to myself. I love the off-trails in the depths of the woods, the more challenging the better.

Nature is serenity and happiness for the soul and body!

My favorite distance is either 1/2 mile or 1 mile. I love to sprint, but only for that long, no more! Long distance is hard for me!! I admire all who can do it! 4-6 miles is what I like on daily just for fun and relaxation jogs.

I also love to do strength training for fun and to tone up!! Great music makes it more enjoyable!

But more important than running to me is my family, and also I hope I try to be a good and kind person to others always.

Every single day is a gift to be cherished. I like to wake up each day with a happy smile. And run with a smile!!

To have the health to do so, I don't take for granted.

Runners are wonderful people! Richmond is a fantastic running area!! So many marvelous events and truly terrific athletes!
