Occupation: Governor of Alaska
Age: 45

When did you start running?
I grew up in a running family. My parents caught the running craze in the mid '70s and we grew up doing family runs. I've been running now easy for 35 years.

I'd like to see her and Obama in a race for charity. I really think it should raise some serious money.
