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".

Donnnn't want to work today. Is it Spring Break yet? Woke up and changed right into my workout clothes. Stretched and did intervals of resistance 5 and 6 on the elliptical for 1.5 miles. Then switched over to the treadmill for 1.9 miles at 6mph and 2% incline. Stretched and did lots of free weight lifting. Stretched and then had eggplant for breakfast! YUMMM..

How in the world did you end up with eggplant for breakfast? Eggs, OK. Plants, OK. How did you cook it? Was there nothing else in the house??? :-)

No no no... I LOOOOVE eggplant. I peel it then slice it so that creates 1" or so round slices. Then I dip them in an eggwhite & skim milk mixture (just to coat them in liquid for the next part..). Next, I bread them with breadcrumbs and bake them in the oven. It is one of me & Benn's faaaavorite! :D
