I run!
I started running in 2008 after moving to Los Angeles from Seattle... and hating everything about it. With no job, few friends, lots of time, and relentless sunshine, running was something I could do for free and also get a sense of accomplishment and measurable improvement from. I went from huffing and puffing and complaining on a 2 mile jog to running my first half marathon in December of 2008, and my first marathon in 2009.
My current goal is to PR in both the half and full marathon in 2012 and 2013 respectively, and to complete a race of more than 26.2 miles in the next two years. And to get into triathlons, if I can get over my fear of lakes and oceans. Maybe someday I'll even think about doing an Ironman. Baby steps, right?
My favorite running spots (LA):
Griffith Park
Silverlake Reservoir
Santa Monica Beach
