Why do I run: I run 4 beer |
Why I started running: I starting running because I got laid off in February 2010. At almost 250 lbs sitting at home on the couch would not have been the best thing. I join the gym and started to run on the threadmill, my first mile took me almost 13 mins. While training inside was good i decided to hit the pavement for a few miles, after a month or so of training outside thought it was time to try a road race the Dunleavy 5K Winchester. It took me 27 mins to finish and I swore that I would not run again. Since then I have joined a running club (Shamrock RunningClub) completed a number of 5K, 5 Mile, 10 Mile and Half Marathons. My biggest acomplishment was to complete the 115th Boston Marathon this year. All this in just over a yaer, looking forawrd to increasing my mileage and more races. |
