About me: I'm a history doctoral student in Charlottesville, VA. I'm new here, and (slowly) growing accustomed to the hills. I came from NYC, where flat paths were abundant.
I'm training for my first marathon in Indianapolis this October. I've been running for about two years now. |
Why do I run: I run because I love it. Because it's cheaper than therapy. Because it makes me feel strong and tough (especially when the weather is brutal). |
Why I started running: I started running when I was traveling to do research and lost access to the gym. And it helped me lose about fifty pounds. |
