NAME: Leslie Dutchcot
E-MAIL ADDRESS: dutchcot@yahoo.com
BIRTH-DATE: The seventies
HOMETOWN (ORIGINALLY): Ridgway, PA
WHERE I LIVE NOW: State College
WHAT I DO IN LIFE AS WE KNOW IT: Attorney at Goodall & Yurchak, P.C.
NON-RUNNING HOBBIES OR INTERESTS: Spending time with my husband, Art Entz and our yorkies, Barkley & Sam
A FAVORITE BOOK, MOVIE, TV OR RADIO SHOW: Legally Blond (movie), Bob & Tom (radio)
NICKNAME (AND WHY): n/a
IF I COULD WRITE MY OWN EPITAPH: I intend to live forever, so I've never really thought about it.
I STARTED RUNNING (WHEN, WHERE, HOW...): During law school my brain got
tired, so I thought I'd wear my body out a little to give my brain a
break.
AVERAGE MILES PER WEEK: 20
A TYPICAL TRAINING WEEK: 1 hour run 2x during the week, 1 to 1 1/2 hours on Sat. or Sun.
PREFERRED RACE OR RACING DISTANCE: Half Marathon
NUMBER OF RACES PER YEAR: 2 Halfs, a few 5k for fun
A GOOD 10K TIME FOR ME WOULD BE: That's a good question. I've only run one and I don't remember much about it
WHY I RUN: I run because that is my time to clear my head and get ready for the world.
PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT: Two weeks ago I forgot my
running shoes on a trip back to Ridgway. Since I'd decided to go
home that weekend to run 10 miles on the rails to trails (oh, and see
my family), I stopped at Walmart and bought a pair of $18.95 sneakers
just so I could run the next day. Now I leave the "emergency
sneakers" in my trunk.
