About me:  In January of 2006 I finally decided I'd had enough of feeling sick and tired, and began my weight-loss journey. I was 47yrs old and 210+ pounds. My first moments of running felt like they would or should be my last, but I kept going since I was determined to run a 5K in August. I began the "Couch-to-5K" program and by week 6 abandoned it since I was already able to run 2 miles, non stop. My first 5K wasn't fast and it wasn't pretty, but I kept on running, and today I run 1/2 marathons, trail runs and am training for my first marathon in Denver, October 2008. p.s. Almost ALL my running is done at 7000+ft elevation! Why do I run:  Because I'm addicted to it!!! Why I started running:  To help my weight loss
