I've been a distance runner for 5yrs and have been training with a personal coach. I've wanted to run a marathon all of my life, and I am finally physically ready (I just turned 18 and my coach wanted me to wait until my body was ready to handle the pounding). I haven't done a ton of road races; my latest was the 10mi Run to the Border (I finished 2nd female of 91 in 1:08:29). Next up is the Sugarloaf 15k, hopefully the MDI half marathon, and definitely the marathon this year!!!!
