| 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".

| | Cruddy, dreary day so Benn and I decided to the gym. Started off on the elliptical for 3.69 miles on "fat burn" mode with intervals at resistance levels 10 and 11. Then did a cool down on the treadmill next to Benn for 1.25 miles or so on hill intervals. Finished up with the rowing machine for 0.6 miles. Stretched arms and legs afterward and changed to get a dip in the hot tub. Strange... the water wasn't hot but just kind of warm... not even as hot as bath water. But, we relaxed for a few minutes in the bubbles before heading out. | | Add Comment |

| | Came home from work and mowed the yard with the push mower. Front yard was easy but the back yard is touch and has some hills, forcing me to puch hard with my legs and arms. Worked up a bit of a sweat by the end despite the gale-force winds! | | Add Comment |
| | Met Benn at BArT today and hiked Mt. Greylock. At a steady pace, did 3.5 miles up and 3.5 miles down :) It was a good workout! | | Add Comment |

Biked on the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail from Pittsfield to Adams today. Stopped into BArT fr quite a bit to volunteer making and painting props for their school musical. Afterwards, we walked over to Subway to grab some lunch and then biked the 11 miles back to Pittsfield to do grocery shopping and such. |
