I've been married 51 years, have 3 children and 6 grandchildren,. Four of our grandchildren live in Canberra. Our youngest daughter and her husband and two childrenlive in Sydney.I was born in NZ but have lived in Canberra since 1981. I am happily retired from managing an Australian Apprenticeships Centre and working in The Runners Shop in Canberra. I started running in 1995. I prefer long distance running and have run 20 Canberra marathons, 1 Gold Coast marathon, 1 New York marathon, several half marathons and a number of triathlons. I ran my first Canberra marathon at age 50 and my 10th at 60 which means I am a Griffin in the ACT (ie having run 10 Canberra Marathons). I was happy to finish the Canberra Ultra Marathon (50km)in April 2006 in under 5 hours (4hrs 56mins). I also enjoy swimming, cycling, exercising at the gym, travel and reading a good book. My husband David is officially retired. He keeps extremely fit playing squash and training for and competing in local, interstate and international duathlons and triathlons.

Ruthie you look fantastic as usual.
ReplyDeleteF506 would make a great profile photo. I like that there's a bloke in the background with a Canberra Road Running Festival shirt.
