During the last 10 years, I’ve become an avid runner. I did the Richmond (VA) Marathon in 2018 and 2019. I don’t know where the desire to run came from. At Carleton, I remember thinking (erroneously) that there were the jocks and there were the rest of us. I have met many wonderful people along the way.
I also love to hike and am active in the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club. We maintain 120 miles of the AT in southwest Virginia. One of the most photographed overlooks on the trail, McAfee Knob, is in our section.
Growing up in flat Kansas, I would not have imagined such hikes.
