As an Ulster County resident all my life, I have been running these roads,trails and hills for over 30 years. The Onteora Running Club has heald mymembership for over 20 years. In the past five years I’ve also joined theShawangunk and the Keegan Army running clubs. Each one offers something unique. My husband (of 51 years!) and I in the town of AccordWe have three grown sons, a 10 year only granddaughter and a 1 1⁄2 yearold grandson. After my retirement as a special education teacher in theNew Paltz School District, I have enjoyed running, biking, swimming andhiking. I love meeting new people, doing fun runs, and facing new challenges. Hearing runners plan and meet their running goals each year is inspiring. My goal is to keep running and motivate runners of all ages and ability to continue to stay fit and live their best life.
