Caught the running bug in Sept 2010. After achieving the NYRR 9+1 guaranteed entry into the ING NY Marathon, I’m mentally and physically preparing to run my first marathon this Nov 2012. I am also turning 40yo in October and feel it would be a tremendous accomplishment to increase my running abilities to a marathon level while also setting a positive example for my twin girls. I believe in smiling across the finish, no matter the distance or the time, because crossing a finish line is a great and precious achievement! And when you smile across the finish, you’ll be smiling at your next start.
