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".

Was at Benn's house on super bowl weekend. Then packed him up and moved him here to my house! SO EXCITED to spend lots of time with him. I can't wait for nice weather to get to go on adventures with him!

Worked out on the elliptical tonight while Benn ran on the treadmill. Did a 8 minute warm up at resistance level 4, then amped it up for intervals at resistances 5 and 6. Very hot in the basement but I am glad Benn encouraged me to have an exercise date with him. Stretched afterward.

Went on the elliptical tonight. Started out the first 10 minutes at resistance level 4 and then spent about another 5 minutes or so at resistance level 5. Sweat quite a bit during the last 20 minutes at resistance level 6. (It's HOT in here!) Whewph!

Went for a quick run on the treadmill before having a celebratory dinner with Benn tonight for his acceptance to the long-term American history substitute job!! We are both so excited! I know this is going to be good for him :)

All at 2% incline, ran the first 6 minutes at a 6.2mph warm up. Then increased speed to 6.5mph for a few more minutes. Did the whole rest of the run at 7.0mph. Stretched afterward and ordered vegetarian Indian food! MMMMMMMM........
