Hi, I'm a seasoned ultrarunner with a strong interest in ultrarunning culture and its athletes. I find as much fulfilment in my own performance as I do in watching others perform and grow as their dedication to the sport deepens. I'm approaching midlife, and I have no plans of slowing down.

After 30 years of nursing, I have moved my office to the road and trails. My first pair of running shoes were my moms. Literally, I borrowed them when I wanted to run. They were the shoes that you would use "goo" on to keep the bottoms in shape. I ran in them until they died.
