Why do I run: 
I run because I enjoy competing at local races and being outside, transitioning from rugby to running to stay active. This is a sport that only relies on my own performance and training. Purchased a road bike this past summer (2009) to possibly compete in a duathon in 2010.
Why I started running: 
I started running because it's something I can pretty much do anytime and anywhere. I started running about 12 years ago, but only a few times a week and only a few miles at most. Have been just running during the summer months when not playing other sports, rugby and hockey. Started increasing my running in 2008 and raced my first 5K in April of 2008, was happy running 25:41. Didn't sign-up for anymore races because I thought I didn't need too, but never ran anymore races in 2008 and slowly stopped running that summer. Decided to run the same race the next spring, ran only a few times before the race, and then kept running after that and signed up for about 1 race pre month to keep myself motivated. Got a friend running this past summer, 2009, and we did an 8 week training program. He went from about a 32 min 5k down to a 26.5 5k and I went from about a 25 5k to a 22 5k.
