I considered running an obligation and requirement when I was in the US Army; it was just part of my job. Then after being out of the military for several years and developing an interest in fitness and health, I began entering local races and fell in love with the sport. I enjoy networking and training with other runners of all paces and distances. I am hooked on the sense of accomplishment of achieving higher goals and placing well. I even enjoy the not-so-good, but humbling runs, which drive me to work harder.
I will continue to participate in local races and look forward to competing on a national level. My emphasis and favorite distance is the half-marathon. I am currently training for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon with a goal time of 3:40 or better.
