Brief Running History Began running in 1988 as a form of exercise on the advice of my doctor, who I later learned was a runner, and have been running ever since. I ran my first road race in 1990 and have run in races of all distances including the marathon. My mileage averages 40-45 miles a week, but sharply declined in 2006 due to several reasons. I’m now trying to get back into running shape and would like to try another marathon sometime in the future.
