Started running 5 years ago, and have been with coach Savage and the
Niles West Oakton Runners Club for most of that time.
My first race was the Morton Grove Park District Prairie View 5k, which
my daughter Jo an avid runner dared me to do. Once I did the race, I was
hooked, and to date I have run 175 races, including 1 Marathon, and 3
Half Marathons, in 4 states, and Ireland, and am proud to say have
gathered numerous awards along the way. Without coach Savage, I
dont think that would have been possible.
Being a member of Niles West Oakton Runners Club, and having the
freindship of both Pat and Melissa Savage and the other team members,
has become one of the most important events of my life.
