| Introduction | I've been a fan of running since elementary school when I was one of the few kids who would actually train for the yearly track and field day where I would try to win the "long run" aka 600 meters. My older sister, Jen, brought me to my very first cross country race in 2000 at age 12. That year, I joined my first track and cross country teams where I enjoyed moderate success on the seacoast of New Hampshire. I got a bit over confident and satisfied in high school, and I never really met my own expectations. I moved to Boston for college and spent the next 2 years in varying states of injury, burn out, and laziness. After that, I stopped racing and running all together for about 4 years. In the fall of 2011 when I could barely even run a 5k, I decided to start running again. I returned to racing in the summer of 2012, and while I have come a long way, I have a long road ahead of me. |
