About me: 
I started running in October 2007 by doing Couch to 5K. Finished around the middle of December 2007 and did my first 5K race January 12, 2008. Achieved my 2 goals of: 1) finish under 30 minutes and 2) don't come in last. :) I'm married and have 2 wonderful little boys, ages 3 and 1. I'm a pharmacist, but I now stay home with the little guys.
Why do I run: 
I feel so much better when I run-- I have more energy, I sleep better, I'm not as cranky, I look better; I feel like I'm a better mom and wife because I do this for myself. Did I mention that I look better? That's enough right there to get me out the door!
Why I started running: 
I started running to have some productive alone time to find "me" again. I also needed a form of exercise that I could do anytime of day without much commitment other than time and motivation. Having a race to sign up for kept me going.
