I've been running for as long as I can remember. I joined the track & field team my freshman year as a sprinter, and high jumper, and I've been hooked since. I was a sprinter in college, and after college I joined the Army. I've gone from sprinting to long distance running, hoping to compete at the professional level in some sport or another after parting ways with the military in 2012. I've run 9 marathons in my life, and upon my return from Iraq at the end of the year, I'll be ready to take on my very first triathalon! I just love to compete. I love imput from other runners/athletes, and I have some training advice of my own to share. Hope to see you out on the road. But be careful.......Baby D is faster than she appears. ;).
