I run

People ask me why I run. I've been running for so long, that I can't remember why. It's just a big part of my life. I think it is important to be physically fit, and running helps me stay healthy. It also keeps me sane. I enjoy the challenge that running and racing brings; it not only pushes me physically, but mentally, too. I don't run very fast, but I try to improve my speed with each racing season. Maybe one day I will run a sub-8 minute pace!  I share more of my running on my training blog All In Stride

Surprise, surprise, the web has kept track of most of my racing history.
