About me:
I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter and a friend. I am also a runner.
My first race was 23 years ago. That race was a 5K. I hated it. So I ran a 10K. I liked it. I ran a half marathon after that and soon ran a full marathon. I now have too many half marathons to remember under my belt and 12 full marathons completed. My favorite distance is the half marathon. I truly can't stand a 5K race but will throw my shoes on the starting line for a good charity. |
Why do I run:
I run because I like it. It keeps me sane and a lot less cranky. A 10 mile run on a Fall day in New England is a reminder that life is good.
I run in bad weather because when the good weather comes around - wow, it is that much more enjoyable. |
Why I started running:
Like a lot of people, I started running to lose weight. The weight came off years ago but I continued to run for the enjoyment of it. |
