How long have you been running? Since 2002
What made you decide to begin running? Out of shape, and too expensive to keep a gym membership.
Did you run competitively in high school? Nope
Did you run competitively in college? Nope
When / why did you join SRR? Joined in 2002, I was looking for a group of people that could get me off on the right foot, so to speak.
Total number races: 30 and counting
Favorite race (and why): POW-MIA 10K. Nice course, mostly flat, and for an outstanding cause.

Favorite runner: Pepe, of course.
Favorite running shoe: Asics, or Brooks

Most MPW Ever: 65, and it hurt, but a good hurt...
Best running memory: 2004 Hood to Coast Relay [Oregon]: Didn't know most of the people involved in my relay, but they were the best bunch of people you could have asked to be with. Especially a last minute addition of a couple from Oregon. Got to see Seattle, Mt. Rainier, and swam in the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention I traveled across the country to meet more people involved with SRR.
Worst running memory: 2002 24hr Around the Lake Relay: Last loop, was a bit too dehydrated, perhaps a little hallucination, and ran straight into a road sign... ouch!

Fill in the blank: I like it when I finally warm-up and get in the groove. I hate it when I am too lazy to get out of bed to do anything.

Other: SRR is the one thing keeping me running longer than a few weeks. Whenever I can't be bothered to run another day, I browse the website and see all the races everyone is doing. Then sign up for a race, and I get out there and go.
