| Location: Chicago,IL,US Member Since: May 11, 2011 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: Started running last fall in the Susan G. Komen 10K (55:56) for a family member who was diagnosed with breast cancer. I laughed at myself as "one of those crazy runners," looking down at the pinned number on my stomach and that strange orange loop on my shoe. And then I got hooked :).
Ran my first half in the First Midwest Bank Half Marathon on 5/1/2011. Cut 11 minutes off my 10 mile time within the month leading up to it.
5K PR 23:21.
10K PR 47:36. 10 mile PR 1:24:30.
Half Marathon PR 1:51:07.
Short-Term Running Goals: I am training for the Chicago Marathon.
Half marathon in 1:44:00. Long-Term Running Goals: Dream of Boston, but have to run my first marathon first! I also dream of a 50 miler. Continue to let running be an incredibly positive part of my life that gives me the best natural high and happiness! Personal: I am a martial artist and live alone in Chicago. I will be moving soon (within the next 2 years) to attend graduate school in conservation biology. I also play piano and guitar and love to sing. I am a science teacher to middle school kids and also teach little ones at my dojo. |

| Pace leading 6 miles. Knees are feeling much better. Still some pain in the left knee when I walk, but for some reason, ever since Austin they've been better. |
