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".

Sorry I haven't blogged in a very long time. Been very busy and emotionally drained. Loss of the majority of my savings, job interview, doctor's appointment, relatives visiting, two days of tag sales & moving around, a death & funeral, bad news about the job, had to file for unemployment, sad memorial day memories, babysitting, bad nausea and exhaustion from new medication. Couldn't find the time to run. When I did, I felt too sick to do so. I;ve called the doctor to see what I can do. Also time to call and make a dentist appointment but need to get my files transferred first. Even though I love my old dentist, my new insurance doesn't cover them so I have to seek out a new office. Feeling cruddy about myself and lack of exercise although my mom and aunt have said I have lost weight. I don't see it. If so, it is probably just from sickness and lack of appetite.. not loss in a healthy way like through exercise. Anyway, I hope to get back into he running scene soon!
