About me: I started running in October 2007 by doing Couch to 5K. Finished around the middle of December 2007 and did my first 5K January 12, 2008. Achieved my 2 goals of: 1) finish under 30 minutes and 2) don't come in last. :) Since then, I've done several more 5ks and sprint tris.
I'm married and have 2 little boys, ages 4 and 20 months. I'm a pharmacist, but I now stay home with the little guys. |
Why do I run: I feel so much better when I run-- more energy, I sleep better, relieves stress, I look better. I'm a better mom and wife because I do this for myself. |
Why I started running: I started running to have time just for me, and get some exercise. I picked running because I could do it anytime of day without much commitment other than time and motivation. Having a race to sign up for kept me going. |
