Occupation/title/what you do:
Presbyterian Minister
What
motivated you to join the PAWS Chicago Marathon team?
My
pet cat Birdie who my wife and I adopted from PAWS. She has the cutest face.
Is this your first
marathon?
Yes, it
is.
On mile
20, what will you think of to keep going?
Though I'd like to think it would be something noble, the truth is at that point
only vanity will get me through.
What
obstacles/fears/challenges are you overcoming by running the marathon?
I don't
like getting up early. That has been a challenge. I also have a fear of
polyester active wear that doesn't help.
Why PAWS Chicago?
They
are a quality organization that does good in my city. And, again, because of
Birdie.
How did you find out
about the PAWS Chicago Marathon Team?
I ran by the new shelter
in Lincoln Park and saw a poster.
