Location: Houston,TX,USA Member Since: Nov 07, 2011 Gender: Female Goal Type: Half Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: -Successfully completed one full day of Cross Country Summer training in 10th grade. I had to drop out due to "scheduling conflicts." -I have four 5-Ks and one 5-miler under my belt. Four of those five official runs have occurred since marrying into Flatlander's family in 2009. -I no longer abhor running.
Short-Term Running Goals: Develop a consistent running routine. Long-Term Running Goals: Learn to love running. Personal: I have hated running since my very first mile-run in P.E. For a while I pretended this was due a "slow-developing asthma" and "flat feet." However, I soon came to realize that I had not inherited my mother's asthma gene and had inherited her ample arches. After getting toe surgery my Senior year of high school which cured my ingrown toenail issues, I was officially out of excuses to hate running. Oh, the unfairness of this world!
I am now happily married into a family of runners. So, I have decided to hitch my wagon to their star, in a way. My goal is to prove to myself and to my future progeny that I, too, can be a lean mean running machine. No excuses.
