Best Running Experience:  Any time on my favorite 10 mile trail "course" in Boulder, CO right at dusk. (I'm still looking for my favorite run here in SF)

Worst Running Experience:   1. Getting seriously lost and panicked on a long trail run during marathon training. Ended up being on the trail an extra two hours without water.   2. Running in Omaha, Nebraska - I had the frightening experience of four men in the hood threatening and scaring the #$%& out of me...ended up having to do all my training that week on a treadmill in the exercise room in the Omaha Courtyard Marriott...

Diet:   All over the place-Try to eat healthy, but sometimes that just does not happen. Either way, I love food and I eat pretty natural and don't eat many processed foods. (Except for Luna Bars); I love running because it is the one thing that lets me eat a bit more "fully".

Injuries:  None currently, but had an IBT issue once and tend to get lower back problems.

Non-Running Interests:   Reading, People-watching, remodling new condo, travel.
