Favorite Quote That Inspires You: "Planet Earth, you are a crew." – Christina Koch

Why I Run:I read once that Mr. Rogers swam every morning because it helped him feel capable and in charge of his destiny, and because swimming was an important part of the strong sense of self-discipline that he cultivated. That's how I feel about running, and I couldn't really articulate it any better than Fred Rogers.

Where To Find Me When I’m Not Running: Wandering around Pasadena with my wife and our dog, Noni.
