Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

3:28 first marathon at the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, Alabama in 2006.  Since then, running has fallen by the wayside a little bit, still participate in the random 5k to 10k distance, but I've slowed down a good bit since high school--wasn't that fast to begin with unfortunately!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run another marathon in Fall 2009 Spring 2010, and qualify once more for Boston.  Run Boston in the spring (2011?); participate in my first short-distance triathalon?!!?

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for the rest of my life!

Personal:

I've just finished my degree in Microbiology.  My favorite things to do always involve the outdoors.  Running is my semi-serious sport, but I relax with climbing.  I guide rafts on the Arkansas river in Colorado during the summers, and I'm hoping to get into medical school in 2010.  Other than that, there's not much to me... I enjoy friends, good fresh vegetables and home-cooked food, my dog Pudding, talking to my family long-distance, and sleeping under the stars.  My most favorite thing in the world is water in its various forms (snow, ice, liquid), whether its a frozen waterfall or the ocean or the river.  A close second is trailrunning when I'm fit... though these days it's more of a struggle to get going than I'd like.

After a frenzied few days studying for Microbial Metabolism and Physiology, I gave up books for running to Lisburn, some 10 miles down the towpath out of Belfast.  Took the number 551 bus back, tomato soup for dinner, and now have Virology to attend to for the exam on Monday.  Awkward conversations in the kitchen prompted me to my room with a cup o' black juice and now it's study-time again... I do dislike the lack of activity during finals week... damn.
