“I like to think we gals are the stronger sex in our family!” —Kathleen Waters
“Trails are all I run, and I love being near the mountains and spending hours in them.” —Reader “SunDevils”
“I’ve been a runner all my life. OK, maybe I didn’t consider myself a runner when I was a toddler, but I remember when I was in 3rd grade and I had to run a mile around the playground for my elementary school’s field day competition. I remember thinking to myself: ‘This right here. This is fun. It’s hard, but it’s fun.’” —Megan Killian
