“I started running about 3.5 years ago. After I did my first half marathon in January 2012 (in the snow!) I thought I’d never (want to) do a marathon. Well, I changed my mind and proved differently with a Boston qualifying time in October 2012 on the boardwalk in Rockaway Beach, New York, just two weeks before the boardwalk was washed away by Sandy. Since then I’ve done 5 more marathons and New York City 2014 will be #6. Anything below 3:30 is good for me. I love running because it clears my head and I like to exercise. Also, and probably most importantly, what I love about running is the support runners provide to each other, and that it doesn’t matter who you are and where you come from, everyone is part of the community. Keep it up! “
