What made you decide to set the goal of completing a half-marathon on all seven continents? 

I felt it would be a terrific way to both run and see the world!

How many marathons and/or half-marathons have your run?

I lost count long ago - my guess is more than 300 marathons and probably double that on half-marathons.  I use these for training for running ultra marathons.

What is your favorite race and why?

I have many favorites but I think the London Marathon is one of my favorites as you see the entire city during that run. 

What word would you use to describe yourself?

Over-achiever is probably a pretty good description.

Favorite thing about running and traveling?

I love to run and I love to travel and see the world - so combining the two is the very best!!

What words of advice would you give to someone who is training for their first marathon or half-marathon?

Keep running - every little bit helps!
