My Running Story
I began running when I joined the track team at Atholton High School way back when (I’m 30 36, you can do the math). I was a sprinter who would often sneak into my house (right by the school) with my girlfriends to take a break during our 3 mile punishment runs (literally, we did this more than once. Oh the joys of high school!). When I left for college, the running mostly stopped. I didn’t pick running back up again until I was in law school. I needed the stress relief and also needed to drop some 1L weight. I ran my first 10 miler and my first half marathon in law school with an amazing group of women. Since I graduated from law school (ahem, 6 almost 10 years ago), I’ve run a bunch of 5ks, a few 10ks, a couple of 10 milers and a lot more half marathons. I’ve run ten marathons and am planning on running at least one a year for the foreseeable future. I’ve finally found my stride with running and figured out that the way to keep me motivated is to keep signing up for great races. Below you’ll find my Personal Records (PRs), what I’m signed up for currently and races I’ve previously run.
