I started really running races towards the end of 2006. The more I raced, the more I wanted to improve. This continued over the next couple years, culminating with a 2:42:38, 12th place finish at the 2009 Hartford Marathon. Since then, I have been unable to race, train or even jog consistently due to numerous injuries. This blog will hopefully track my slow, steady return to an even higher level of running than before!
