About MLinds
I love running because: I’ve been able to achieve what I previously thought was not possible. I used to hate running and never thought that I’d be drawn to it. Now, I cannot wait for the next run!
I have a hard time running: Hmmmm… hills are a challenge, but you’ve gotta do them!
My biggest motivation is: My sister, Denise, in Ohio was my biggest motivation to start running. She’s been running for a couple of years and has been doing marathons since then. She came here in December for the Dallas White Rock Lake Marathon in December. She was not the athletic one of the family. Then again, neither am I. J It was great to see her and others achieve such an awesome goal of running a marathon. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Other than running – I like to: Play racquetball, kick the soccer ball around with the kids, watch my kids play soccer, pro games, or any soccer game.
Places I like to run: Downhill! Ahhh… just kidding! J I travel a lot so I like finding trails to run with some scenery. I like White Rock Lake, but I’ve really just started running there as I live in Frisco.
Over the course of the training I would like to: Get stronger, faster, and more comfortable with running. Make friends to run with.
Anything else you want us to know? I’ve only been running since January 2008. In that time, I have changed my eating habits and physical activities (channel surfing) in which I lost 30+ pounds. Every week since then, I have run at least 3 times a week.
I have been in a 5K in May, June, and July and have cut off at least 1 minute for each race.
I cannot wait to succeed with my pace team!
