Founded Runner's World magazine in 1966 at age 17 and sold it in 1984 to start Ujena. Built Runner's World to over $25 million in sales before selling it to Rodale Press. Still runs 30 miles per week and regularly run road races up to the half marathon. Ran San Francisco half marathon in Feb 2009 and finished first in 60-64 age group with 1:29:35. June 6, 2009 ran 1:26:26 for the Fontana Half Marathon. Really pushed it and it did take me 10 days to fully recover from that one. Next up will be the SF Half Marathon July 26, 2009. Want to run under 1:28. (Course is not as fast as Fontana.) Have three wonderful grandchildren - Jaxson, Carly and Owen. Two great children Lisa and Michael. Son-In-Law Justin and mate of 14 years Catherine Cross. I love them all so much. The whole family travelled to Carlsbad in April 2009 and all competed in the Carlsbad 5000 and Junior Carlsbad. Fun time! My son Michael is going to be running the SF Marathon in July. This will be his third marathon.
