How long have you
been running?
I've been racing long distances since my first marathon in October 2007.
What/who motivated you to start running?
I've been racing long distances since my first marathon in October 2007.
What/who motivated you to start running?
I needed to lose
weight and after joining a 1/2 marathon training group, I realized I had some
natural talent. Once I started racing, I was addicted!
What's something you
can't run without?
My Garmin 410. I'm obsessed with data and love to come home
and download my run entries into Running Ahead.com so I can watch my
weekly/monthly/yearly mileage totals increase.
What is your favorite
race you have ever done or place to run?
2013 Boston Marathon.
I trained hard for nearly 4 years to qualify and I felt privileged to be there.
Sharing the experience with my identical sister helped inspire her to train to
qualify for 2014 or 2015. Fingers crossed we can both run Boston together soon!
What is the best
advice you would give a beginning runner?
Always make your first mile your slowest. It's better to be under-trained than over-trained. To race well, you need to train smart and
not increase your weekly mileage too quickly or run too quickly (Almost all
your runs will be at Aerobic Heart Rate, NOT race pace.)
