How long have you been running?
7 years.
What made you decide to begin running?
I was consulting and traveling full-time, and it was the simplest form of exercise on the road.
Did you run competitively in high school?
NO!!
Did you run competitively in college?
NO!!
When / why did you join SRR?
I will be preparing for my 8th marathon this fall with the goal of qualifying for Boston 2007. I would like to find some folks to run some of the long runs with, since they can get a little lonely.
