Fitness StatementI am near a 50 year vet of the roads! I am the parent of two daughters,27 and 22, and run about 30 races a year across America.
I have done this since winning boston in 75.
I think I am the only american to have a significant marathon win on five
continents..
I am tied with Frank Shorter for third spot World Rankings of Marathoners
according to Track and Field News .This is for lifetime rankings.
I love to meet new runners/marathoners,and particularly enjoy meeting some of the Vetern runners as well.
I am a great fan of our sport. I think its the most competitive sport in the
world...and the sport that has the most positive impact on our health and
fitness. 
Running AchievementsFour time Boston Marathon Winner
Four time New York Marathon Winner
28 of the 59 marathons I have ran were run under 2:15. In all I have won 22 marathons in my career.
