"Running has rewarded me with the opportunity to make many running friends as well as visit many cities for races as far away as Venice, Italy. When I felt that I was losing control of my health in my 40's, running gave me renewed enthusiasm. My goals changed from running faster to running further. Distance running challenges me to run smarter and the benefits, both physical and mental keep me excited. I look forward to helping make the KC Marathon become the great race the running community of Kansas City deserves. ______________________________________________________
