I'm sure this has been done before, so I apologize if you've answered these questions a million times before! How old were you when you started running? 1st time (3), 2nd time(12ish), this time, 42 What was your prior experience? HS basketball and track What made you get into it? 1st 2 times: chicks, being chased, then chasing, 3rd time: high blood pressure (2 teen daughters, so technically, still chicks) What training or program did you use, if any, to get back into it? My own: I ran til I got tired then I walked, gradually the running got more and the walking less How long has it been since you started? 8 years and counting for the last time, with one minor interruption(see profile) What's your weekly/monthly mileage goal? Try for 35 or so miles/week maybe get back close to 45-50 when it cools down a bit.
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

I'm sure this has been done before, so I apologize if you've answered these questions a million times before! How old were you when you started running? 15 What was your prior experience? A lot of years of soccer What made you get into it? I ran a 5:30 mile during soccer practice Sophomore year without being conditioned. I ended up getting cut from the soccer team, but I figure it was because of the mile (I was good enough to be on the team). I don't regret it now, though! What training or program did you use, if any, to get back into it? I've stayed in shape How long has it been since you started? 2 years What's your weekly/monthly mileage goal? I'm at 50 mpw right now and expect to hit 70 for the first week of school.
