About me:
I started running as a sort of New Year's resolution to get in shape on 1/3/2006. My first attempt at running after 22 years was 2 miles in 27:00.
I quickly got addicted thanks to quick improvement and a great peer support group of coworkers. I ran my first 5K race in Jun/06 any my first half marathon in Dec/06 with a time of 01:54:30.
This drove me to dabble in more extreme running events and I started doing trail running and did the Chili Hilly stage race in Jan/07. Shortly after this race I suffered my first major setback. ITBS on my left leg and runners knee on my right. After several weeks of physical therapy I slowly started increasing my mileage over the summer of 07.
Im currently trying to train to my next half marathon without letting my ITB issues fully resurface. |
