How did you get into running? Too small for football my freshman year of HS, so I joined he cross country team!
How many marathons have you run? Zero! I’m a middle distance runner
Do you cross train or lift weights: Yes, I lift weights 2-3 times/week
How do you find/make time to train: Work from home, so that is a huge advantage. Trade running times with my wife on weekends. Three kids under the age of ten makes it challenging!
Favorite place to run: Hawaii. Spent last four years going there two times a year for the Reserves. Love the loop around Diamond Head along Kahala Road and the ocean road back to Waikiki.
