About me:  I am a 36 year old mother of two. I started running in college (for fun) but didn't get serious about it until about 2 years ago. I am debating on running my first full marathon in September 2008. I am a PE teacher for a K-4 school and love influencing others to get active! Why do I run:  Now I run for me! I run to relieve stress, to set a good example for my girls, and to get a sense of accomplishment. Running puts me at peace. Why I started running:  Initially to lose the "Freshmen 15" I put on in college. It seemed like the quickest way to drop lbs.
