About Me
- RunnerGirl
- I caught the running bug in 8th grade and worked hard all summer to join the high school team. At Schaumburg High School I was coached by Jon Macnider. He focused my energy and set the path for every success I have ever had in running. I finished a 6 time all state medalist, was on the ‘82 champion cc team, and was an All-American in the 3200m. I’m honored to still hold the school record in the 3200m (10:25) and I held the 1600m record for 25 years (4:59). I ran at U of Iowa but without much success . The impersonal business of college athletics just wasn’t for me. I met my husband my freshman year. We married in ‘91. Post college I caught the bug again and under the guidance of Willie Rios I qualified for and ran in the ‘96 Olympic trials. My fastest times are now behind me and I have recently joined the ranks of masters runner. Recently I have found a renewed love of running that has been inspired by the people in this running group. I am rediscovering the love of running for running’s sake and since that is how it all began it is only fitting that I find myself there again.
