Garmin Working - Rock n’ Roll Training On Track
I had to take my Honda Accord in for service. I chose to run home, rather than rely on the shuttle drivers.
Kristina Kelly, from Honda Service Dept., has worked with us for years. She has gotten into running and has become an amazing athlete. She emailed me to see if I would be a sub for the Mt. Si Relay….Of course! Another runner ended up doing it, but I was willing.

Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a
