I started running because I wanted to be in better health, lose weight, also one of my Sons is a runner and I thought, why can't I do that too! That was somewhere around age 58.
I started entering different races to see how I would do. It was so much fun. I started like alot of people 5k's then the Peachtree, other 10k's, then I injured my leg and didn't get to run for a while.
I joined a running group, "USA Fit Gwinnett" in October 2007 and this year I have done the Run the Reagan Half Marathon and the ING Marathon. ME! It has been the most awewome time for me. I am hooked!
