Guest Info
Joy Johnson was born on Christmas Day, 1926 and was raised on a farm where living an active lifestyle was a given. She was a physical education teacher in the San Jose, California public school district who, upon retirement in 1985, took up running as a way of life. She trains at Dick Beardsley's Marathon Running Camp in Waubun, Minnesota, and has run in every New York City Marathon since 1987. When she isn't running her usual 30-35 miles per week, Joy likes
to spend her time gardening at the home she shares with her daughter and granddaughter.
