About Me

Elk River, MN, United States
I have been running for about 20 years and have completed more than 60 marathons (including one in each state) and ultramarathons. In 2011, I ran across MN to raise money for cancer. Now, in 2021, at age 52, I'm going to run and bike across MN to raise money for disabled veterans.

Must Have Gear!

With only one more week until the Run begins, I thought you might be curious about what kind of gear is used.
Here's some of MY must have items:
On the top row:
  • foam roller (you place a body part on it-for me it's hip and roll up and down, it keeps muscles and tendons from tightening up)
  • The Stick massager (great for thighs and shoulders)
  • anti-chafe products-prevention is the best cure
On the bottom row:
  • spibelt-it's expandable pocket holds an INSANE amount of stuff
  • add on components from Amphipod-water bottle holder, and on the right a water bottle.  I can add up to 4, and also have 3 accessory pockets in case I need even MORE stuff with me
  • Road ID ankle bracelet (safety item, lists contact info, better safe than sorry!)
  • Marathon Maniac hat (gotta represent...)
  • MP3 player (if you're interested, I'll tell you some of the variety of songs-post a comment and I'll write a post on that)
  • Garmin GPS (will be recording all my run data so I can post actuals during the event)
