About me:
I'm currently a junior at Iowa State University. I'm majoring in dietetics. I'm training to run my 1st marathon this October in Des Moines. I will be running the Loop the Lake 8K at Gray's Lake Park in Des Moines in April, a half marathon in Lincoln, NE in May, then doing the Dam to Dam 20K in Des Moines in July. |
Why do I run:
I love the therapeutic effect running has. Just being alone with my thoughts on a long run is very relaxing. It's a great stress reliever - especially during the hectic times of mid-terms and finals. |
Why I started running:
To avoid the freshman 15 when I came to college (I actually managed to lose 15 pounds when I came). I wanted to get back in shape after playing soccer in high school. |
