Running

After I graduated college I moved to Texas and the open roads were my Sirens– I got really into biking in Texas because it was so easy to get lost out in the rural roads. Then when I moved to NYC I had some bad experiences on the bike and I caught the running bug again. I joined Manhattan Track Club and my performances have been surprising me ever since. It is great running with a team, and it’s a great group of guys so if you would like to learn more, check out their website. Here is a picture of all of us in Spokane, WA.

Sorry if I don’t update this very regularly, because I keep my log on milogsonline. That was developed by my MTC coach, and is currently in development. Before he started that, I used to use flotrack, which is also a good website if you want to keep track of your training. I love talking about running so if you want any advice, if you have any input, or just wanna chat, please contact me! Once I get to med school in 2010 I’m not going to have much more time for exercising hardcore, so my ultimate goal is to break 2:20 in Chicago which is in October 2010. I am hoping that I can survive marathon training and med school for a month or so before my workload gets too heavy! Hey, I have never turned down a challenge.
