Sport: Ultra runner
Age: 45 years young! I get better with age!
Home: Fremont Ca, and Sierra Madre Ca.
Work: Whole Foods Market Cupertino Ca. Nutrition Sales and "Get Fit" trainer
Training Milage: 80-120 miles a week. Plus 4 hours of Crossfit WODs per week.
Favorite Place to Run: The Ohlone wilderness trail. I live one mile from the trail head to Mission peak so run out my door to the trail. I also train 5 days a month in Yosemite during the Spring and Summer.

Why I Started Running: To stay clean & sober. I truly believe if I didn't find running I would still be a drug addict. Clean going on 16 years.

Goal for 2010 Run a double at the Western states 100 mile race. No one has done this.

Run at least 8 100 mile trail races.

I have run over 250 Ultras.  (69 of these are 100 milers.)

Other beta on me I have been a vegan for 15 years. I also love fast packing, long distance hiking, rock climbing and crossfit.  I am not fast but love to run I love  motivating  others to attempt what they is impossible. I believe anything is possible as long as you want to do it.  "Live Life Love Life"
