MS 150 Race Report.

I met Sharon in 2001 while training for my first marathon. We were part of a group raising money for UCP, and while we actually worked for the same company at the time, we did not actually "meet" until the training started.

Through the years Sharon & I have remained close friends, and while we definitely do not see each other as much as we should, we always seem to catch up. She is an absolute hoot. If you met her you would understand what I'm saying. She's real, down to earth and just a good-hearted person. She also just happens to be from Spokane, just like me. It's great to laugh about some of the places, people and things from back home... Like, you know how it's STILL snowing there, and we are "chilled" in the mornings hear when it is 60degrees out. Yah, it doesn't take long to acclimate to Arizona.

I have the utmost respect for Sharon. She's several years older than me, in fact just a few years younger than my mom. In age, that is. However, you would absolutely in a million years NEVER know it. She's got a smoking body, healthy as can be, and she's out there doing all of the things that MY MOM thinks I'm nuts for doing. She is one of the best examples I've seen first hand on how being active and healthy really does keep you young. She truly is an inspiration to me.

Last weekend Sharon did another fundraiser. She rode in the MS 150 bike ride, while once again raising money for a charity. She was gracious enough to write a race report for us. Please go HERE to read the report.
