I run because I thought I couldn't run.

Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

I have flirted with running since high school when I took a strength training class that had me running laps just about every day--I hated running. 

Twelve years later, I have discovered a passion for running and I just ran my first race this past Sunday--a 5K.  My time was 29:20.  I feel pretty darn good about that and I can't wait to do more.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Over the next 2 years, I hope to continue to run races and train my body to be faster and be able to endure longer races.  While I don't see myself doing a full marathon EVER, I am intrigued by the idea of doing a half-marathon someday.

Long-Term Running Goals:

In the long term, I just want to keep getting better and faster and continually challenge myself so that I can sustain my interest in running. 

Personal:

I am married with no children.  I do have 2 dogs and a cat and some fish that I treat like children sometimes.  I work in a library and am working on a Master's degree.
