| 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. |

| Run on treadmill at the dojo- simulated hills and did fartleks. Hamstrings were killing me the day after. Too hot to run much this week. Was 106 degrees yesterday. |

| Paced the intermediates with Pete today at 1:52:00. We didn't run yesterday because it's been 100+ degrees all week. Today felt great- only 80 degrees and I felt strong. |

| A really tough one for my 32nd birthday! Ran with Colleen and had a ton of fun. Came up to a crest in a valley watching the hawks circling BELOW us. I joked, 'How did we get all the way up here?' :) |
