| 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".

7 minutes into trail running with Benn and Harry at Olivia's Overlook before encountering a black bear. Turned around and scooted outta there! Took a beautiful drive down to stockbridge and hiked up to the lookout tower at Ice Glen. Stopped to watch two owls and heard another one vocalizing very nearby! | | Add Comment |

| | Ran a loop with Benn from Galway school down backroads and such for 3.16 miles. The I jogged just about a quarter mile on the track and played in the school playground (hehe). Finished up by running a 0.47 mile lap in the school parking lot. Stretched and went to Benn;s house. | | Add Comment |
| | SO hot and humid today, but really wanted the exercise. Went to the bike path with Benn and cycled my butt off! Went steady for 18 miles and met Benn at the end of one hour. |

| | Ran 4 miles on the bike trail with Benn. Beautiful weather. Was feeling lightheaded on the run back and decided to walk for about 0.6 miles or less while I downed the remainder of Benn's water. Then picked up running again to the finish. | | Add Comment |
| | Today was my first day of the Nuclea Science Instutite biotechnologies lab program at Berkshire Community College and what do I do... lock my keys in the car. Decided to just walk the 3 miles home instead of calling AAA. Had my cousin, Erica, with me (who was also accepted into the program and is staying with me for the week). Sunny and hot out but made it home in a little over half an hour.Will have to go back later tonight with somebody to get into my car and drive it home. Haha. | | Add Comment |
| | Ran 3 miles out and back on the bike trail with Benn while my cousin, Erica, walked. After Benn and I returned to the start, I looped back and walked to find Erica on the trail and walked back together with her. HOT day! | | Add Comment |
| | Ran 4.64 miles on the Rail Trail with Benn this evening. We can tell it is getting darker earlier now, as it was very dark on our return run. Benn was having a really rough time with heartburn and I really thought her was going to be sick. I kind of kept my distance from him but he pushed through all the way to the end. :) | | Add Comment |
