| Location: Buena Vista,CO,USA Member Since: May 18, 2009 Gender: Female 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. |

| Monte Sano... the mountain of health. I love Monte Sano in all of it's 2000 foot glory. It's not really a mountain (it's actually what's called a "col" according to wikipedia), but it's an Appalachian foothill and it makes me feel at home. Brings me back to my days as a college sophomore, making the drive home every Friday afternoon from Mississippi and stopping, usually, at Monte Sano for a quick run before descending the Volvo into Old Big Cove and eating dinner with my parents, who would ask about school and research and mundane things. I remember racing there for the 10k and 5k road races every autumn--the way I appreciated how the air up on Monte Sano was usually a bit drier and cooler than in the Valley. I remember running there with my cross-country team in high school and doing laps before going off to work in the botanical gardens the summer after my freshman year. I miss those days a little bit, but there are actual mountains in my destinations as of late and I appreciate those for what they are, and the new events and runs they will bring. Still, there's something a little bit special about coming home and running on the same trails you've always known.
