Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

I am waaay behind on my blog! I'm honeymooning in Santa Fe, NM enjoying the sunshine and getting some pretty decent shorter runs in despite the 7000 ft altitude. If you have any must run trails let me know!! 

Other big news: my qualification time running Disney was fast enough to earn me a bib at Boston!!! This in itself has taken away all the frustration of one long summer dealing with many hurdles trying to return to running after my stress fracture. I now have my sights on one clear goal which is to get healthy to knock Boston out of the park. Then, figure out how to recover very quickly to run the Big Sur Marathon 6 days later - I am signed up for the Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge. 2014 WILL be my year!!
