Favorite Running companions

I have formal training with The Jeff Galloway Marathon Training Program. I like to run with the ‘Middle of the Pack Group’ a fun social group at a popular running store called Fleet Feet. I love running with my Dad the most (only he is really fast).

Doing great things for great reasons-Thanks to The Sceptor Pain Foundation

 http://www.sceptorpain.org/

I can do something for my own personal satisfaction and get ...a feeling of satisfaction.  I can do a small thing for reasons that benefit others, that get a greater sense of satisfaction. By training for and completing the NYC ING Marathon,  I am doing a great thing for a great reason, Thanks to Sceptor Pain Foundation!

Why dedicate the run to Pain Patients?

I work with Pain Patients on a daily basis. I have chosen to do this Marathon for a charity whose central focus is providing hope for the Chronic Pain Patient. The Sceptor Pain Foundation is that charity. The Sceptor Pain Foundation raises awareness of Pain as a disease and raises awareness of pain advocacy programs and resources that are available. My goal is to give hope and joy to the Pain Patient.

One Zany idea ... I am IN !

I got bit by the running bug recently and I am smitten. I know! Running the NYC Marathon is a radical idea, perfect for turning 40 and making a statement. I registered for the lottery on January 18. Then I tried not to talk about it too much... I  THOUGHT ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. On April 7thThe New York Road Runners announced who would " Be In"... I can't believe it! I am IN !"
