Started running to improve overall level of fitness and to lose weight. Became a volunteer with Team In Training, raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and completed my first 1/2 marathon in April of 2004 at Nashville, TN's Country Music Marathon!
I then became a mentor with TNT and helped train those doing the Nike 26.2 last summer. I moved here to Memphis in January '05 and have been off running for 2 months due to illness and moving here. When I last ran, I was at 4 minutes running/1 minute walking.
