About me:
I'm a 3rd year doctoral student in social work and sociology, and I study poverty, race, and social welfare policy. I have a wonderful husband, Mark, and we have a chihuahua puppy, Izzy, who is our baby. I like to be with my family, run (although I'm very much a beginner!), do pilates, read political blogs, travel, watch college football, and go to movies. |
Why do I run:
To get in better physical shape, to lose a little weight, and because it makes me feel really, really good. |
Why I started running:
I was motivated by my cousins, who went from leading a sedentary lifestyle to successfully completing a full marathon using "The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer." Now my female cousin has completed three marathons. Also, my dad has always been a runner and has completed several marathons. I have always loved watching marathons and now I am ready to try it myself. I am using the same training book as my cousins and I really like it so far. |
