Personal Bio: I came to running later in life than most. Attending the "other" Monta Vista in the late 70's, there wasn't even a girls cross country team. I began running in graduate school and joined Diablo Road Runners in 1987. This is when the serious running began.
My favorite distance to run has been the 5K and I have had some success as an age group winner. My absolute favorite race is the Dipsea, a very aggressive course that takes from Mill Valley to Stinson beach. I have done 8 marathons, qualified for Boston Marathon 7 times and run it 4 times, with my Personal Best time in Boston of 3:27.
In 1998 I opened my first running store in Pleasanton. 2 years later I opened a second location in Pleasant Hill. My experience having owned the running store is something I hope to share with the Monte Vista Cross Country Athletes. During my 9.5 years in Pleasanton I gained knowledge in proper shoe fitting, footbeds, orthodics, injury prevention, training, and getting to know the high school age runner. Selling my business in 2007 was a hard decision for me.
Running has been my passion once I was allowed to pursue it, but I never got to see my kids! I am now a substitute teacher in the school district and by helping with the team I am reminded how great it is to run in the hills and with a group of such enthusiastic kids.
