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!

I have to agree with Marion that is a lot of miles in the middle of the week. How can you run so many miles and go to school? When i went to school i could not do it!! I might run a race in October in Boise, so i am trying to get my miles up to 70 per week. I would like to run the half marathon, but i want a 1:25 to 1:30 time. I ran 60 miles last week and this week i have a race so i am only running 40 miles. But after this week i will be slowly going up to 70 per week.

I know the feeling- you've got to get the miles in when you can. I am forever making sure I can fit the miles in depending on when my husband is working, when I am working and when the kids leave for school,or swimteam, or some practice or something. It is a shuffle everyday and practice in flexibility.
