Run

Mars Band 5k 2010
I have been running since a few months after I had knee surgery. I hadn't run in a few years and I only ran sporadically the few years before that.  I ran my first 5k since high school cross country in July 2009 after only deciding to run the race a week in advance.  I just can't seem to get enough of running.  Sometimes I go through injuries and have to take time off. Sometimes I am just in a rut and don't feel like running but then I run a race and I'm so motivated again to do better.  I had babies in 2013, 2016, and 2019.  I had my gall bladder removed in 2021 and also had to have surgery a few days later due to complications. 

Below are all the races I've completed with times and links to my blog posts about them. I keep doing weird distances so then I get new PRs.
