I started this running adventure as a way to loose weight and regain my sanity. I'm happy to report that neither has happened - all I've done is kill a few toenails.
Running is not my religion nor is nature my temple. But running does provide moments of beauty and serenity. Most of all I enjoy the sweating, the pounding of my heart as I blaze the hills of CT at a 10 minute/mile pace. Boston awaits!
I'm coming back after a 2 year hiatus from running. It really does get harder with the added years and weight. But prevail, I will.
My favorite races include the New Haven 20K and any marathon with beer at the aid stations. I'm shooting for an Ultra in 2002 - any advice is welcome.
