About me:
I like to run, I was on Cross Country since the age of 12 and Indoor & Outdoor track & field in High School. I was all state all four years in Rhode Island. I stopped running when I was kicked off my college track team for smoking. I had my first smoke at the tender age of 12 and ran the Boston Marathon as a smoker... I never said I ran it well. I finally quit smoking on January 14th 2007 and have been back to running since May 2007. My goal is to run a marathon (Honolulu Marathon 09) if my husband doesn't knock me up and delay my training... which will probably happen. Well so my husband did infact knock me up in 09, not only was my training delayed but totally destroyed! I had major asthma problems while pregnant and refused to go on medication that may or may not effect the baby so I stopped running. I'm healing now and getting back into the swing of things.
2010 Goals:
Run Hartford Half Marathon in October
Train for Hartford Marathon 2011 |
Why do I run:
I love the feeling it gives me, the time to myself to think and dream. The calm it brings to my body. In competition I love reaching my goals and beating them to smitherines! |
Why I started running:
I started running in 7th grade because I tried to play basketball and that turned out to be a horrible mistake, tall girls can't always play basketball! |
