How long have you been running? 6 months
What made you decide to begin running? It was an easy form of exercise that I could do just by heading out my back door. Exercise with a toddler is all about time management.
Did you run competitively in high school? No
Did you run competitively in college? No
When / why did you join SRR? I've enjoyed running and training over the spring and summer, but I need some help and encouragement when the wintery weather hits!
Total number races: 5 (hey, I just started!)
Favorite race (and why): Portland Maine Half Marathon, because I took it fairly easy as a training race and did far better than I had expected!
Favorite race distance: I dunno, I haven't really done enough to develop favorites yet.
Favorite running shoe: Mizuno Wave Maverick. They saved my knees.
Average miles per week: 30-40
Most MPW Ever: 45
Best running memory: Crossing the finish line at the Portland Maine Half Marathon, feeling great, and feeling as if I could run a LOT more!
Worst running memory: Getting lost on a 22-mile run while on vacation in Boothbay Harbor. I cried.
