THE NON-RUNNER

Greetings,


Now that I've told you all about how and why I've decided to train for a marathon, I should tell you a bit more about myself as it relates to training for a marathon. Trust me, I won't bore you with my life story... I'm not that interesting. Plus, all the unimportant details are in my profile.

I am 5 feet 9 inches, about 156 pounds and I'm a size 8 in ladies/misses clothing. I have an athletic build, probably from playing several sports throughout high school (basketball, volleyball and soccer) and maintaining a fairly active lifestyle. I go to the gym, but not regularly, and I dabble in a number of sports from time to time. I've played tennis, golf and softball sporadically over the past few years. In addition, I've taken several yoga and pilates classes, as well as a few ballroom dancing lessons recently, just to change things up and keep things interesting.

While I am no stranger to the treadmill, I am no runner. Honestly, running is my least favorite cardio exercise. However, I've always wanted to be able to say I was a runner for some reason. Hopefully, I will be able to soon.




Unwinding from a rather stressful pilates class,

Almost Thirty
