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!

Wow you are ready to qualify for Boston if you are running like that.

Which race are you going to run for you BQ?. I will be running the Miami ING, which I am not sure if it is a good idea, since the race is at the end of January and around that time Miami is still pretty hot. Ohh well, I guess that I will find out then. Anyway, I am not sure if I could make the time (3:10). I would have to keep a pace of 7:15 per mile, and I can't do that right now. I know that I still have time to prepare, but I think that is a little bit out of my reach. I will try though, and even if I don't make that time I know that it is going to be amazing running my first full. Do you ever run in Florida?.
