What
motivated you to join the PAWS Chicago Marathon team?
When I saw their booth at the Shamrock Shuffle, I thought, "What a great idea!"
Is this your first
marathon?
Yes
On mile
20, what will you think of to keep going?
I told I will find God at mile 20. If not, I will wonder where he is.
What
obstacles/fears/challenges are you overcoming by running the marathon?
At 25, if someone had told me I would be running a 5k, I would have said, "Yeah,
right!" I am not a natural runner. That's when I
start walking on a treadmill; just trying to get healthy. Here I am 12
years and many runs later, training for a marathon. I am just fulfilling
a dream.
Why PAWS Chicago?
I was
referred to Paws a little of 5 years ago to get my dog, Jeri, spayed. They were
so great.
How did you find out
about the PAWS Chicago Marathon Team?
At this
year's Shamrock Shuffle
