| 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".

Went running with Benn on Gulf Road. We ran into my coming back from dinner at Arizona Pizza. We went and tried to run on the trails that were made by the Crane Paper Company in Dalton, MA. The trails were pretty good, except that they aren't exactly marked well. Ran 15 minutes out decided to turn around the trails come out. Did a cool down jog and walk to the top of Golf Road while Benn took a cooldown in the opposite direction, then met back up at the car. | | Add Comment |

| | Went on a 3 mile run with Benn tonight on the roads by our house. Started at home and began up the hill to the top of Essex. Took a left and ran down Gale, taking a right at Redmond. After making it to the top of a hradual hill at the end of Redmond, took a right and headed over the railroad bridge on oswald over to the other parts of Gale again. Ran down the long hill and took a let onto Forthill. From there, went under the railroad bridge and took a slight right to the sencond half of Hungerford that connects to West Housatonic (route 20). Took a left on W. Hoosie and headed straight all the way back to the bottom of Essex hill (of doom!). Made a pact to run it all the way to our house at the crest and amazingly, we did! Took a walk to the top end of our street and back as a cool down, then stretched. | | Add Comment |
