About me: I'm 26, live in VT with my husband, fantastic cat, and "exuberant" dog (meaning she's a 65 pound ball of nervous energy that likes to jump, run, chase, and misbehave). |
Why do I run: I'm extremely goal-motivated, so while I'd like to say I run for the fun of it.....I don't. I run so I can say I ran a 5K (10K, HM, M). Oh yeah, and to spite all those people who think all fat people are lazy and unhealthy. |
Why I started running: I see runners as some of the ultimate athletes. The idea of running a marathon (heck, even a 5 or 10K) is mind-boggling. The furthest I've ever run before was 2.25 miles in high school field hockey training, and I'm *gasp* approaching my 10 year graduation anniversary next June, so I thought wouldn't it be cool to be able to run a 5K 10 years AFTER I was at my peak fitness level. So I started the C25K and off I go... |
