| 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. |

| A TOUGH run. Matt and I pushed ourselves as hard as we could. This course had every "hill" in Chicago, the headwinds were brutal, and there was one opening for all 40,000 runners to enter the race. Running Away Multisport cannot facilitate a race; this I knew. I ran because I got a free bib. |

| ST. Warm up with Alain and then sprint 400s. A painful night in the cold and rain on the lakefront. Touch on the lungs and calves, but I do feel like i'm getting faster overall. |
