Occupation	Retired, Volunteer and Nordic Walking Instructor
Location	Redding, CA, United States
Introduction	I have been active in outdoor recreation for a number of years to include running, i.e. marathons, ultra marathons, mt. biking, skiing and kayaking. I have been a race director for the Burney Classic Marathon and the Redding Marathon. I have trained new runners to run their first marathon and worked with other runners to obtain their goals. During this time I was struck by a vehicle while running and my running career ended. I was then recommended to LEKI to become a Nordic Walking Instructor. I took the training in Seatlle, WA in September of 2006. I have been teaching students the value of Nordic Walking since January of 2007.
