| 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".

| | Went to the gym with Benn today. Did around 35 minutes on the elliptical on "fat burn" mode on intervals of resistance levels 8 and 9. Then did 6 minutes of rowing, and a handful of arm and leg exercises on the weight room machines. | | Add Comment |
| | Ran on Burbank Trail (part of Yukon Ridge North). Ran 3.55 miles of the trails there, and I also added another 0.45 miles for working up a sweat mowing the lawn and the back hill with the push mower today. Yay! | | Comments(1) |
| | Did 45 minutes of weight training today. Started off with 13 minutes on the rowing machine and then weight room for 32 minutes. Then hit around in the racquetball room for about 10 minutes before joining an hour long "Bender Ball" fitness class. Worked up a sweat and sore muscles but felt a great core workout. | | Add Comment |

Spent the weekend in Chelsea, MA (right outside of Boston) helping a best friend, Missy, move into her new condo. We moved boxes up flights of stairs and painted, painted, painted!! So exciting and fun to help out! Look forward to returning again soon! | | Add Comment |
