In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul.

To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.

I think I run my strongest when I run with joy, with gratitude, with focus, with grace.

And when they start riding a lot of them have full time jobs and are taking vacation days to get by. All of a sudden it becomes so addictive because you're out there with a bunch of women just like yourself, well educated, taking your vacation days, not making any real money, but we're having a blast. And that's US cycling.

I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency .

Running fills a need so we make fewer demands on others. Running reveals the roots of negative thinking, so the weeds can be pulled. Running reconnects the soul to the source, inspiring hope and creativity.

Running is always an exercise in humility.
