I am not a "natural" runner - I often have days when things just don't "click" with my runs, but running rebuilds me in ways that no other thing can. Running keeps me whole and helps me deal with life's ironies (of which there are many).
For this Spring here in the Northeast, I am helping to lead a "No Boundaries" training group for the Susan G. Komen - Race for the Cure. "No Boundaries" is a training group for women who may not be runners and who have never fun a 5k before. it's great to see the 50+ women come out each Saturday with enthusiasm and excitement no matter what the weather.
I ran a local marathon in '03 and I'm looking to complete it again this year. I have trained regularly each year since, but I'm also an avid cyclist and I find it hard to balance the two. It's always a struggle to fit in long rides with long runs. If only I didn't have to work! :-)
