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)

I rolled my ankle at the 1.5 mile mark, followed by a not so graceful trip to the ground. I considered scrapping the rest of the run at that point, however I decided I was OK to continue. I'm not yet sure that was a good call. I think I would rather get injured running too hard, but to roll an ankle?!? AAAHHHHH!!! I'll see how it feels tomorrow.

Great job in the race yesterday. I enjoyed your race report. Sorry about the ankle - I really hope you can still run on it. I think running through a sprain can actually help minimize the initial swelling so don't beat yourself up over that. I would have done the same thing.

Thanks. That race was a lot of fun. And you really shouldn't be embarrassed. I was just as likely to be bent over the same trash can. Now that would be an odd way to meet someone.
