How did you get into running?

Took my then 15-year-old son out running to get him interested in the XC team and eventually got rehooked. Then fell in with a bunch of oldish coots (known loosely as the Under-a-Cheevers for our leader Ben Cheever) who run and talk mischief at Rockefeller Park in Sleepy Hollow on weekends.

Year's you've been running?

Fourth year following 2 1/2 decades hiatus after college.

What's your favorite race(s)?

Running up Bowdoin Hill in Wappingers Falls four times to film the HS XC races, because it was for the kids.

Dave Wottle and Lasse Viren, and the 66-year-old woman who popped a 101.6 AG score at the '09 Hope and Possibility 5M.

Why do you run?

For the challenges, the endorphins, and the thrill of it all..

What do you consider yourself, The Tortoise, or The Hare?

I don't like labels!

Future goals?

Running a wide variety of races on the road and track that don't go beyond 10 miles, the boundary at which all folly starts. Okay, nix that, just got confirmed as an Achilles Guide for this year's NYC Marathon, and there's really nothing better than a 26.2 mile run.

Any last words? Suggestions to the club admin?

Keep getting the carrot muffins hot out of the oven, and don't bother trying to convince Kevin not to run through those obstructing temporary lakes during the VCTC 5Ks..
