Athlete Profile – John Lui

You’ll usually find John at the morning and weekend classes at DCF. Just look for the guy with a smile on his face who’s willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. John holds the current DCF Cindy record with over 25 rounds and has probably run more miles than I’ve driven in a car.

What’s your athletic/fitness background?
I’m a marathon runner. I recently accomplished my goal of running a full marathon (26.2 miles) in every state. In the fall, I plan on running at least 20 more. If all goes according to plan, I will run my 100th in DC next March.
