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!

Mandatory rest day because of all my graduate classes are Thursday and fridays mornings.

The pictures from my marathon are done from during the race, I look like I was about to die... I didn't feel like I was going to until the end. And lots of the pictures were taken close to the finish line. I'll try post one on here later. 

TGIF!

It's not so bad. There are guys who can run during lunch which is crazy. It's just too hot. I run at night when it cools down 20-30 degrees. The bad thing about running at night is you can't see stuff and you end up spraining your ankle and not running at all.
