I Hate Running

Reload for a different image

I started this site training for the 2006 Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon. Having never run more than 3 miles in my life, I did it as a personal challenge and to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. The experience was great, and maybe found out, I did not really "hate" running.
Now I have done one marathon, what's next? Retirement?
