Running Accomplishments:

Have been running since Fall 2008.  Running started out as an exercise for weight loss and quickly turned into an addiction.  Lost 50lbs in 2009.  Today I am at a ideal weight.

So far my personal best for a 5K race is 29:59. 

25K trail run 3 hr 46 min

Marathon 6:05:37.45


Short-Term Running Goals:

• Run a 25K trail run in 3 hr and 30 min or less 

• Improve my 5K race time, my goal is 20min

• Run a marathon under 5 hours.

• Increase my weekly mileage

• Run on the weekends


Long-Term Running Goals:

Ironman Triathlon

Personal:

I'm a production artist.

Ran my first 25K Trail Run! It was fun! Turned out to be a perfect day for it. Wanted to finish in 3hr and 30 min and finished in 3hr 46 min. Not too far off. Was moving along pretty good until I had about 5 more miles to go.  Ankles were really hurting. I think I laced my shoes too tightly, loosened my shoes when I had about 4 more miles togo.  Despite the pain I ran the last mile quickly and ran through the finish line with a lot of energy. I can't wait to run this event again next year. Next year I will be faster!
