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".

Sunny and temperature in the low 70s. Went running with Benn at Spa Park in New York after church with the Griffin family. Harry decided to come too to go longboarding while Benn and I ran. We opted for a short, faster run. We were really slicing and dicing at the end,  running 4:58 pace the last bit. Splits were: Mile 1: 9:06 Mile 2: 7:53 Mile 3: 7:56

Hot and sunny day today. Did 4.5 miles on the elliptical today after work and sweat bullets!! Did "weight loss" interval mode at resistance levels of 11, 12, and 13 (feels equilivalent to my home elliptical resistance levels of around 5 and 6).
