Personal:

I've been running since I was 11, but mostly just for pleasure. For some reason, I have absolutely no competitive drive. I'd like to get one.

I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and have two young boys.

I coach boys and girls cross country and have coached for 8 years.

Running is not my number one priority. Like everyone else on this blog, I wear a lot of hats: Catholic, mother, wife, teacher, coach, student, runner. At this point in my family life, and probably until I'm done having kids and they are able to come with me on runs, running can only happen when circumstances permit. Luckily they usually do.

I just found your blog and thought I'd say Hi because I used to live in Champaign-Urbana (actually Savoy). My husband got his doctorate at U of I. I used to run around the cornfields but never very far in those days.

I came this area because I did my undergrad at U of I and then got stuck!

Even though I enjoy reading the blogs of the super athletes on this site, I do like reading ones like yours. It's nice to see that there are runners like me out there too! Good luck with your marathon training!
