How do Injinji Performance Toesocks help you achieve your peak of performance?
How don't they is the better question! Tsoks are one of the most important items when it comes to my training. It prevents friction between my toes and eliminates blisters. I've been running 7 years in these tsoks and have yet to have a blister! Unbelievable! What is the greatest obstacle you’ve overcome as an athlete?
I would have to say breaking sub 4 minutes in the mile. It’s more common these days but it’s still an obstacle I didn’t think I’d ever achieve. Hard work and proper guidance by coaches got me on the right course.
What advice would you give to new athletes in your sport?
Be consistent and be patient! Running isn’t something you’ll be good at overnight. It’s also a sport you can’t take shortcuts in. . . you have to do the work to get the results. Pure and simple!
Who is your favorite athlete and why?
I would have to say Lance Armstrong. Not just because of his accomplishments on a bike but what he’s done for humanity through his charitable efforts.
What is one personal goal you hope to accomplish this year?
Win and set a new course record at the Mckenzie River 50k in September.
Which cartoon character do you most resemble and why? Probably “Dash” from “The Incredibles” mainly because he’s very sarcastic and teases a lot. . . he’s also know for his running ability
Fast Facts

Favorite Performance Toesock: Mini-Crew is the most versatile. I'm giving the Excelerator Tsoks a go and am REALLY enjoying them
Favorite Motto: I have a few: “Comfort Zone = Self-Perceived Limitation” and “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
Favorite training food(s): Hmmmm. . . basically I'm on a “Seefood” diet. . . I see food, I eat it. Pasta, fruit and veggies are things I can’t get enough of.
