| 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".

| | I haven't been updating my running blog since the wedding last month. I'm finding it hard to get everything done and I'm tired all the time since the sun goes down around 4pm now. Uck. Got up and ran on the treadmill this morning before the loads of chores to do. Ran 4 miles @ 2% incline. Began a 5 minute warm-up at 6mph. Then ran the majority at 6.2 & 6.3mph, finishing up about 0.4 miles at 5-4.5mph. | | Add Comment |

Benn & I went hiking on Monument Mountain this afternoon. It was a cold 30 degrees at the start around 3pm. We made it up to the top in 23:00 - it was windy! We didn't take the "Devil's Pulpit" route as we didn't want to get stuck in the dark. | | Add Comment |
