I run.
It's not always fast and it's almost never pretty, but I run.
It's only been about two years since I started dedicating serious time and effort to running and only a year since I started actively racing (there was a 16 month gap between my first and second races). I'd like to race more frequently; in fact, I'd be happy running one race a week (especially if medals are involved!) but until Caroline is older and able to stay home alone, that probably won't happen.
Here's a list of my races and times. The good thing about being a newbie racer is that everything is a personal record! Hopefully I'll be able to beat all of my PR's eventually, but for now, here they are:
