NOTE:Running since: 2005  I started with thinking 2 miles was impossible!  I ran/walked 5ks for a whole summer before I was convinced I could run 3 miles straight without stopping.  From there, I signed up for the Des Moines Half Marathon and (quietly) freaked out every week as the mileage increased during training.  I continued doing 2-3 half marathons each year.  I was completely happy with my running and stated time and time again- I had absolutely NO interest in running a full marathon EVER.  Then, in 2009, I got a stress fracture in my left foot training for the Vegas Half. After weeks of getting steroid treatments and physical therapy, I showed up in Vegas and attempted to run.  I made it to mile 7 before my foot completely gave out- walked to mile 8 where I found a cop who put me in an ambulance- THAT was a crazy ride through Vegas!! :)  (NEVER again will I complain about high race registration fees- that unnecessary ambulance ride didn't cost me a dime!) SO, not being able to finish that race gave me the sane thought that I will recover AND I will run a full marathon.  Which, I did run and finish in 2010- the Chicago Marathon.  And now I'm hooked :)  Runner's high?  Running Buddy:  Bisou, my (almost) 3 year old Weimerarner  Favorite time to run: early morning (I don't think my mind or body is awake enough to know what I'm putting it through :)  Goal:  Run Paris Marathon for my 35th birthday.  God has clearly planned this fabulous race to be held around my birthday, so it's a definite sign I must run it for this milestone.
