Here are a few facts about Cindy when we asked her about running:

Years Running: 4
Weekly Mileage: 15-30

Favorite race distance or race: I love the marathon, Oh the calories a girl can burn.  But who doesn't love a quick 5k?

PR's - (5k, 10k, 1/2, mara, Ultra) or proudest running accomplishment:  This year as I turned 50 I entered the rock n roll series.  My goal was to earn the rock star medal.  In order for that to happen I had to run 4 fulls and 4 halves back to back.  In January I got the Rock Star medal.  Way cool!

Favorite training run:  Top of 193 back to my home in West Point.  10.5 miles.  Best part of the run is it is mostly downhill- I also get to spend quality running time with two of my BFF's Brooke & Kim!

Why run - (motivation, inspiration):  I run to stay in shape.  I am getting older now so a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!

Goals:  Striders Winter Circuit, Ogden 1/2, San Diego Full, lots of 5k's and the Las Vegas full.  Mostly just keep running!

Favorite music to run to:  Country and old Rock n' Roll

Favorite Running gear - (shoes, apparel, etc.): My new Asics gels - Kristin hooked me up!  They are so cozy I could sleep in them!

Best advice you've been given as a runner:  Just keep running.  Even when it gets hard.  If it were comfortable everyone would be doing it!

Best motivational quote:  What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Your role model:  My son Mason, My daughters Whitley and Tasha.  Amazing!

Favorite food:  Cookies, Brownies, Cake, and Pasta - in that order!

Hobbies or interests other than running:  Baking, cooking, shopping, decorating, traveling, and spending time with my family.
