| 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".

| | Busy, horrible day. Got on the treadmill tonight for a 4.52 mile run. Started out with a 6 minute warm-up at 6.2mph & 2.5% incline. Stretched and then continued to run at 6.3mph up to 6.8mph with long intervals at 7.0mph. Also did one or two incline intervals of 2.5% and 3.0% grade. Finished up with a cool down at 4.9mph & 2.5% incline. Stretched again and called it a night. | | Add Comment |
| | went for a mid-day walk on the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail amidst running errands with my mom today (-she got a few extra hours off of work). Sunny and breezy with a few large snow/ice patches in the shade. Should be goo soon for jogging and bike riding though! | | Add Comment |
| | Went running with Benn on the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail after work today. I ran the first 3.1 miles out with him and then turned around to do the same mileage back. Once I got back to the beginning, I did a tiny bit of walking around to cool down and then headed back out on the trail walking at a moderate pace until I saw Benn approaching. By the last mile he was flying and I sprinted the end with him. Did cool down stretches and went home :) | | Add Comment |

| | Had an exercise date with Benn today in the sunshine. Drove to the Ashuwillticook Rail trail again, but I took my bike while Benn ran. I rode 22 miles round trip and then hopped in the car and drove the the end of the trail to pick up Benn after his 12 mile run. |
