What got you out running/walking for the first time?

Well, I started walking at an early age. Seriously, I was never a runner or wanted to be. Began walking in competition with Modesto Moves for health reasons. Wish I would have been around the awesome people of DB in my earlier years.

5k walks

What’s the funniest thing that has happened to you or that you have seen on the trail?

Not on a trail, but at the Giant race series, there’s a man who is a triple amputee (both legs and one arm), and he would beat me to the finish every time! Awesome for him, not so awesome for me!

My awesome wife and my oldest son Jerry Jr. and his Boston Marathon finish.
