Runner
As a runner, I’ve competed in half-marathons, marathons, 50-kilometer, 50-mile, 100-kilometer, and 100-mile races. The one race I keep coming back to, and that I’ve done the most, is the Leadville Trail Marathon in Leadville, CO—26.2 miles of technical trails starting at 10,200 ft. elevation with more than 6,000 ft. of vertical gain, and a summit to Mosquito pass at 13,000 ft. altitude.
Though I’ve been racing for more than 20 years, I’ve only recently started working with a coach. As a masters and plant-powered athlete who is approaching 60 years of age, I sought support in my training and racing strategy. And I found that in Boundless and Coach Junko.
I am also excited to be running for the 2026 Precision Fuel & Hydration Team! For my training and racing I’ll be fueling with their gels and electrolytes, all which are vegan. Using a science-backed approach, they are helping me dial in my fueling so that I can take my running to the next level in both speed and endurance.
Throughout the year, look forward to my race reports and running anecdotes.
