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".

Was going to go running but both of my sports bras are in the wash. So, instead,stretched and did 45 minutes of Power90 Cardio 3-4 (power yoga, cardio work, kickboxing, jumping jacks, etc. etc.) I feel like I messed up my right shoulder blade a little while doing right arm hooks, but I stretched really well afterward, so I am hoping that helps it. Also did leg lifts and some crunches, but would like to finish up doing more crunches and free weights tonight. I'm just antsy thinking about all the work I have to do today and just wanted to get it started asap.

Worked and worked and worked all day long! Finally at 8:30pm I couldn't take it anymore and needed to go for a run or get some sort of physical exercise! Did intervals ranging from 5.5-7.0mph and did about a mile cool down at 6.0-4.4mph. Stretched.
