About me:  I have been running since June 2006. It fits well with my hectic lifestyle - young family, demanding career, active social life. Why do I run:  Because I love it. Aside from the obvious benefits, it's fun and keeps me sane. It gives me some time to myself and a great feeling of accomplishment when I master a new distance, set a new PR, or just run in a new or different place. I also like that I can eat more. Why I started running:  I had recently lost some weight and wanted an efficient way to get into shape and keep that weight off. Running seemed to give me the most payoff for my investment of time.
