In 2026, I spent 13 hours walking 41 miles around Bainbridge Island, as close to the water as the shoreline allowed. Last year I called 36 miles the full loop — then a friend pointed out the north end that actually completes it.
In 2025, I spent 11 hours walking 36 miles nonstop around the outermost streets of Bainbridge Island — my hometown. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it a lot more than any marathon I’ve run, even though it was 10 miles longer.
In 2023, I began playing pickleball regularly, often taking lessons with my 13-year-old son. We play whenever the weather permits, which isn’t always the case in Washington state, where pickleball originated.
(I hope to organize a tournament someday.)
In 2019, I ran 323 miles solo and unassisted from Seattle to Spokane, Washington. It took 13 days, and I was accosted by 5 dogs (not bitten, luckily).
In 2018, I spent five months learning to walk on my hands because I saw a bunch of videos of kids doing it and it looked fun and easy (it was not easy).
