Personal:

I have been running approx. 10 years. I started running in HS for X-Country and track. After high school, I took 1 year completely off and several were just leisurely runs a few times per week. The past two years, I became pretty serious about competeting. I am 24 years old. I am student in a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. I hope to incorporate mental and physical health as a psychologist (when I finally finish school).

I Love Running, it keeps me sane!

Hey Marion and Barry! Thanks for checking in on me:)

I've been super busy with grad. school... and haven't been logging my workouts. To be honest after running my first marathon... I've been kinda taking it easier, my motivation has dropped, I've still been running just about evryday tho, just a lil' slower. I'm gonna start my offical Boston training the first week in Jan, so I'm not stressed during the holidays. Sorry for the novel.

How are both you doing? Did you have a nice thanksgiving?

I had a wonderful thanksgiving:)

You SO deserve a slacker period! ENJOY the holidays and don't get too crazy about school! We had a nice Thanksgiving! Too much food, as usual! ;D

I had a good thanksgiving! I ran and then took a nap then ate lots of food! It was great. Also, it never hurts to have a little time off from running. When are you going to be done with school? Have a great Night!!! :)
