About me: 
I work part-time for a small investment firm. I was a couch potato, but in October of 2006 I decided to finally get serious about exercise, so I joined a health club and hired a personal trainer to learn how to use the equipment. In the summer of 2007, DH and I completed a 245 mile 5-day bike trip. It was hard, but I did it! Summer of 2008 I did 286 miles in 5 days. Next year DH wants to do a hillier route! In my spare time I enjoy quilting, reading, cooking, baking, and travel.
Why do I run: 
Because it is addicting. Because I still want to lose weight and be in better shape. Because I want to build my cardiovascular system. Because I want to live a healthier life style. Did I mention it is addicting?
Why I started running: 
I wanted to be able to run with my husband, and I wanted a form of exercise I could do when we are traveling and I don't have my bike with me. I started the C25K program in August of 2007 and graduated in October of that year. I'm now re-starting OHR.
