After an almost 15 year absence, I got back into running in July 2007. I needed to relieve stress and get back into shape. I forgot how much I enjoyed racing. In effort to become a faster runner like when I was younger, I joined the KC Smoke in Nov 2008. A whole new world opened up especially in the Masters ranks. Since that time I’ve made many new friends and with their help improved my level of fitness. The team camaraderie has been great. My goal is to continue to improve my times in the 800m, indoor mile, outdoor 1500m and 5000m. I also hope to race wherever I’m able.
