I didn't start jogging or running until I was 37 years old. It was something that really helped me change my life.

I started working out, doing a formal workout right around 1980. That's when I really decided I needed to get in shape and it may have been because you just start to see a decrease - a change in your body.

I was into sports and dancing. I ran track. I have a lot of stamina.

When I was 20, my husband at the time looked at me said, 'You're fat; go run.' There weren't a lot of tools at the end of the '70s to lose weight. It took me a while to realize what kind of exercise would make me happy and I would look forward to doing. And running became it.

I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.

I always wanted to get into proper shape.

Running gave me a focus to start looking after myself, to eat properly, and focus on building up my strength.

I've always liked to run. I did it from a conditioning standpoint, you know. I really enjoyed running, and I do it to stay in shape.

In many ways, I feel I'm still as physically fit as I was 20 years ago because I've always been athletic.

I got very fit that week with all the running around that we di. I was always last, because I can't run as fast as everyone else. I'm useless at running.
