Running Accomplishments:

I have lost 90 pounds. This more than any thing else is my greatest accomplishment. After my collegiate running career I sadly stopped running and kept eating all the way to 265 pounds. After a lot of soul-searching and even more running I am now 175, the same weight I was in college. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep running. I simply run for greater health. I enjoy the struggle for self improvement. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to amass enough race t-shirts to make blankets for every bed in the house, as well as finally run a marathon. (Oct 15th SoJo Marathon)

The last time I ran 16 miles was Jun 12th which was done on the same course as today's. I took a look at the two runs to compare them and found my avg HR went down 13 bpm, even though the pace was an avg of 9 sec/mile faster today. It feels so good to see some actual improvements.

Thanks allie. Hopefully it won't be long and I'll start turning out marathons like you.
