| 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".

| | Walked two miles on Richmond Rd. today with Benn collecting cans and bottle litter to recycle. Later on after doing bottle returns, grocery shopping, cooking on the grill for dinner and eating outside, I did Power90 Cardio 3-4 while Benn ran outside at the track. | | Add Comment |
| | Ran 5.2 miles on the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail with Benn today after work. Pretty warm and VERY sunny out. Benn was feeling yucky toward the end but he pulled through like a champ :) | | Add Comment |
| | Ran 4 miles on Yukon Ridge North across the road from Olivia's Overlook in the Richmond/Lenox, MA area. It was really neat and there was a lot of rolling hills and downhills during the last half of the trail, which was fun. I guess the trails have about a 540 foot elevation gain - and my quads were feeling it during the first half of the trail run! | | Add Comment |
| | Ran on the Burbank Trail loop (in Yukon Ridge North) across the road from Olivia's Overlook in Richmond/Lenox. Ran the trail backward at first and met Benn on his long run. Turned around and finished his lap with him and then ran another full lap with him. It was very wet and rainy out and we saw a ton of little reddish orange newts. They were adorable and made the run a lot more interesting- especially trying not to step on them! | | Add Comment |
