About Me

I also like dogs, hiking, my husband Neil, cooking, beer and ice cream.  Not in that order.

I started running in 2007 because I was too poor to join a gym.  I ran my first half-marathon and thought to myself, “WHY would anyone ever put themselves through a full marathon?” I guess I caught a bug because 5 years later I’ve run several more halfs and two full marathons.

I started dabbling in triathlons in 2010 after a stress fracture stopped me from running for a few months.  I’ve done a sprint and an Olympic and will be doing my first 70.3 in August 2012.  I like biking (enough to do a century) and try to make myself like swimming.  But running will always be my #1.

I moved from DC to Denver in January ‘12.  This blog chronicles my life with a heavy focus on running.
