About me: 
I am a golfer first and a runner second, but don't hold that against me. I really do like to run. In college, I ran three marathons, and have completed three half marathons over the past fifteen years, each about 5 years apart. Maybe it is time to do another one!
Why do I run: 
I run for fitness, for stress relief, and because I genuinely like doing it. I have never suffered a running injury, which no doubt contributes to my positive feelings about running and being considered a runner. Running keeps me looking 5 to 10 years younger than I am! ;)
Why I started running: 
I started running as a sophomore in HS (fall of '79) because I thought I might be good at it. I had great HS coaches and good commaraderie with teammates, complete with spaghetti feeds the night before races.
