Reason for running: I run to stay healthy; both for me and my family. My last marathon was a few weeks ago in Hyannis with a time of 3 hours, 9 minutes and 45 seconds. This is the 12th Boston Marathon that I am running in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training.
Training tip: Stay consistent. It doesn't matter how fast, how far, as long as you are consistent!
