| 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".

At Benn's and did 4.5 miles on his treadmill while he went off to class. Stretched and ran 3.25 miles at 6.2mph and 1% incline. Then did a cool down of 1.25 miles at 4.3mph and 1% incline. Took a shower and ran errands with Benn's mom and Aggie (the saint bernard). Nice day today but looks like clouds might roll in. Have to wait and see, but I hope Benn and I can go for a walk together later today.
Went for a bike ride with Benn this evening. Got the new road bike! All snazzed up!!! It was fun. We biked to the school and back in 47 minutes. Did 9.4 miles. by the way... QUESTION: DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN CHANGE MY BLOG TO THE TRIATHLON TEMPLATE THAT BENN HAS? WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT! THANKS! :)

Walked 1.055 miles for work in Lee, MA. I walked from the Berkshire Center at 18 Park St. over to the far side of the 33 Park St. plaza where I now meet with some students for the summer semester. Then had to meet a student for their individual Social Mentoring session at their apartment at 85 Housatonic St. Next, we walked to the convenience store on Housatonic St. and then to the grocery store on West park St. Next, I walked back to the 33 plaza from the grocery store to meet with my next student of the day. After, I walked back up to the Center at 18 Park St. to do paperwork and get a key, and then back down to the 33 plaza to do more paperwork and lock up. I google mapped all of my trips and used the walking trip option to calculate/estimate my mileage.

Tonight, I stretched and ran on the treadmill for 3.6 miles at
6.3-6.4mph with 2% incline. Then did fast paced walking cool down for
1.4 miles at 4.3-4.4mph with 2% incline. Stretched with Ruby (my cat)
sprawling out and taking over more than her share of the yoga mat :) | | Comments(1) |
