Why did you start running/walking: I knew I needed more exercise, and my son Alex was running then.  He dragged me to a race to watch him run, and I was overtaken with the urge to run too. So I started training at the track!

Running/walking since: 1977

SLTC member since: 1977

How did you learn about the SLTC: My son Alex joined the club, and I was doing races.  I joined then, went to every one of the races, and volunteered regularly.

Weekly mileage: about 15 miles

Favorite place to run/walk: Creve Coeur Lake Park, and west county locations

Favorite workout: Running around Creve Coeur Lake Park, which is about 6 miles. I also enjoy tap and belly dancing classes for flexibility

Most satisfying performance: 1978 Chicago Marathon - first marathon in 4:40.  I had a great time and loved the huge crowds cheering me on and entertaining us

Favorite SLTC event: Fair St. Louis

What do you like about the SLTC: I loved the friendliness of the volunteers and staff, and the well-organized races.  Every race or program is very well planned and enjoyable.  I enjoy seeing my friends at the events too.

What do you want others to know about you: I am a busy wife, mother, artist, and teacher, but I make time daily for running and working out with weights.  It’s fun and the best way to maintain your health and strength.  I recommend running or walking to my friends who are not into exercise.  It’s very important to stay younger physically and mentally.
