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 you! Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? How is Boston training going?

I was just wondering how things were going for you? Did you have a good thanksgiving?

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!!! :)

Happy Holidays to ya! I know it is a little, but better late than never ;). Are you still running?

Are you there?

Hey Guys...I'm here. I have been running, I just write me miles down on paper. I started training for Boston a few weeks ago, but I have been really sick for weeks, total bummer. I am following Hal Higdon's Boston plan, with a few adjustments... like more mileage. I hope you all are doing well!

How is your training going? Give us an update!

Hey Kelsey and everyone else! So, my Boston Training is going pretty well. I ran 18.5 miler last week, and have a 20 miler scheduled tomorrow. Training in for marathon in the winter in harder than training in the summer.

How is everything going with you kelsey? Are you going to Boston this year? It is already sold out! I can't wait to see the city!

From kelsey on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 19:06:51 from 98.230.3.218

Good to hear, hope the 20 miler went well!

I am still waiting for next year for Boston, when school settles down a little (although if I wait for that it may be 2011 when I finally run!). Good luck with the rest of your training and the race, you are going to do awesome!!!

From Marion on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 19:08:41 from 71.213.114.30

Hey you! Good luck with all the training :)

From barry on Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 12:14:27 from 67.61.234.251

I sure miss you not posting your training! How goes the training?

From Barry on Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 12:23:24 from 75.174.41.226

Are you running the Boston marathon?
