Well I'm sorta talking about myself, more like my alter ego, you know like Beyonce has Sachsa Fierce (that's right I'm comparing myself to Beyonce). Well I'm back to running, or at least for now I am. I've been a runner now for about five years. I started back in 2007 when I moved to Merced. Somehow running just made sense. I didn't need a lot of equipment, I could do it with the dog, and honestly I experienced such improvements in athletic ability so quickly that it just hooked me.
I did my first half marathon in October of 2007 and I loved it! After that I lined up race after race to train for and as of this date I've completed nine half marathons and two full marathons. I did my last race in October of 2011: the incredible Nike Women's Marathon, and incredible it was! However I didn't train as much as I needed to to finish the 26.2 strongly. I hobbled past the finish line and after that I was just burned out. I've run occasionally off and on but I racing hasn't been on my "to-do" list, until now.
Half marathon number 10 is planned for September 16, 2012. That's right, my husband and I are doing The Giant Race this September in San Francisco-- wahoo! I'm thrilled to be back into training mode and looking forward to the run!
