Personal:

I have loved to run since I was a little girl when I won my first race against a neighbor boy in his backyard. I have run recreationally ever since, but never really setting any goals other than distance or to participate in a race for the fun of it. So this is all new territory for me and I'm feeling very out of my league. At the suggestion of a friend, here I am... trying to get to the next step in my running. Besides being a runner, I own an IT Staffing company, am a yoga instructor and snowboarder. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful baby girl.

My left calf is giving me grief today. I think it's a result of either the yoga or swimming from yesterday.

How is your training going?

It's going well; i've just been slacking on getting my data on the blog. I'm feeling good though. Right now I'm out of town in Salem, MA. It's gorgeous out here and makes for a nice change of running scenery!
