A competitive athlete since elementary school, Legere has run regularly

since she 14 years old, running several miles a day to stay in shape

between field hockey, basketball, softball and swimming seasons to stay

fit for those sports.

In college, with less time for team sports, she shifted to running

regularly, and competing in local races of every distance. “That’s when I

fell in love with it as a life sport and I.ve been running regularly every

since, “Legere admitted.

“In addition to helping me stay fit for my Army fitness requirements,

running sharpens my focus, helps sustain my optimism, relieves the daily

stresses of daily living.” “From my days at the university to today, I’ve run

anywhere from 4-7 days a week - rain or shine - a habit I have sustained

for the past three decades.

Regardless of where I am or what I am doing, I make time for it, because

it contributes to my effectiveness as a leader, and my well being as a

person.” Now in the third decade of her military career, and serving as
