About me:  I started running about two years ago. I took a brief break this early fall after a IT band injury and doing too much too soon. Now, I run about 3-4 days a week, and want to do a half Marathon in May. So far I have completed a 5k and 10k Why do I run:  I love being alone (with my dog) at night. I don't clear my head like some people, I just talk to myself to figure things out. I'm competitive with myself, and with running there is always an opportunity to try something new and different. In the winter, it just simply keeps me going. The people and environment at races also can't be beat. Why I started running:  After I switched from a public school to a home school, there was no more sports teams to be on. I decided to start running because I actually enjoyed it versus going to the gym every day.
