About me: 
I'm just wrapping up my 3rd year back to training and regular racing after being more of a fitness jogger through most of my 50's. Best times were run while in my 40's but I probably enjoy running and competing now even more than I did back then.
Why do I run: 
Competition is primary motivation for running as much as I do now. However, there have been several periods since I started when I haven't run as much but kept at it because of the physical and mental health benefits it provides. I will continue as long as I'm able for those reasons.
Why I started running: 
By the time I finally took that first jog down the canal banks of Phoenix I was 14 years out of high school and a mess. I was hoping that running would help turn things around and it did. I've been at it ever since that day, more than 29 years ago.
