About me:
(Most of) lifetime exercise freak. Trying to become a runner late in life. |
Why do I run:
The medals to wear with all those new T-shirts. |
Why I started running:
Never ran more than a mile or two as warm-up or cool-down for other exercise. Summer of 2008 needed to burn a few more calories, so decided to increase my cardio. Day of planned increase to 3 miles fell on same day as local 5K. Why not? Entered 1st 5K at age 46. Ran 22:24 / 37th overall / 4th AG. Being around those 200+ healthy (and happy) people in the rain on the 4th of July was quite a RUSH. I was hooked. |
