Running Accomplishments:

I am very new to the whole running scene. The first 10k I did was last July 08 in Enterprise. I started running to get in shape and lose weight. since then it's become addicting. The most I have ran is 15 miles. The longest race I have done is a 10 miler. I finished it 1:27.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run my first marathon this year under 4 hours and within the next two years qualify for boston.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to continue to be a lifelong runner to stay healthy and to not get overweight again. I hope to always stay motivated and run many marathons in my lifetime.

Personal:

I've been married for 3 years. No kids yet. I hope to have children soon and figure out a way to manage work, kids, and running. I am very busy with work as a nurse and I'm also in school getting my bachelor's degree.

I haven't run a 5K since the week I decided I was going to be a "runner." That was last May. I think I finished that 5k in around 34 minutes or something. It was disappointed to finish in 25 minutes when I was expecting to do much better, but compared to a year ago I feel pretty good about the improvements I have made. The race was large but most of the people entered were walkers. I think 5 women finished a head of me. Good experience. I'm glad I had the opportuninity and motivation to run a race on vacation!
