Brief Running History

I started running over 10 years ago, participating in 5Ks and eventually moving up to 10Ks and then half marathons.  After doing a dozen or so half marathons I decided to take the plunge and ran the Chicago Marathon in 2008 and the Disney Marathon in 2009.  I love how running makes me feel and am now addicted to long runs.
