| Location: Pittsfield,MA,USA Member Since: Jan 08, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Recover From Injury Running Accomplishments: I ran Varsity Track and Field in high school and was primarily a sprinter (100m, 200m). I also did the 400m, 4x400m, long jump and triple jump. Sprinting comes most naturally to me, but I am opening myself up to trying new things and increasing my endurance. I didn't get into running any long distance events until I met Benn and I'm still getting used to it! Short-Term Running Goals: I sprained my ankle the night before Thanksgiving 2008 which forced me to come back from that injury. Right now I am primarily doing running workouts in the 5k range, hiking, trail running, and some cycling. I also do lot of stretching and some free weight exercises, along with some cardio & yoga here and there.
Long-Term Running Goals: To stay healthy and active. To make exercise a permanent part of my life. To act as a roll model for wellness.
Personal: I live in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. Earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Am currently working at a day spa but am taking steps to work in a laboratory. Getting marriedto the guy of my dreams, Benn, in October 2010 and am honored to be able to spend the rest of my life with him. Lots of excitement and planning to do, but taking it all in "stride".

Played with Skyler on the trampoline today and then ran on the treadmill this evening. Did 3.55 miles @ 6.5-6.7mph and 2%incline. Then did some quick stretching and continued for a 0.6 miles cool down at 5.0-4.8mph and 2% incline. Stretched to finish up! | | Comments(2) |
| | Ran 6.3 miles on the treadmill while watching Supernanny on tv haha. All at 2% incline, I ran the first 6.1 miles at 6.2mph with 4-5 intervals (of 5-7 minutes each) at 7.0mph. Afterward, did a 0.2 mile cool down at 5.0-4.9mph and stretched. Lastly, I finished up with leg lifts and 3 different sets of squats. | | Add Comment |
| | Ran on the treadmill this morning. Benn signed me up for the Troy Turkey Trot again this year, so I can't be lazy! All at 2% incline, I did a 15 minute warm up at 6.2-6.4mph. Stretched and hopped back on and ran at 6.3-7.0mph until I hit the 4 mile mark. Then did a 0.5 mile cool down at 5.0-4.9 mph. Stretched again and did bunches of squats and leg-lifts. Just did some house cleaning and now off to take a shower and run errands. I'm meeting up tonight with one of my best friends from college and her boyfriend. I wish Benn could be here, too, but he will be at work. Bummer... I'm not sure if they actually think he exists. Haha! | | Comments(1) |
