Long-Term Running Goals: Continue running until I'm 97. I would like to qualify for Boston at least once and maybe run a marathon in each of the 50 states. Would also like to bicycle across the country, as well as complete a 12hr, 24hr, and 48hr ultramarathon.
QUALIFY AND RUN IN THE BOSTON MARATHON.
COMPLETE A 50 MILER AND 100 MILER
Personal: I am 25. Have done 4 full marathons, 3 ultras and 10 half marathons. Really trying to get in shape to get back to running the miles I want to. I love to read and worked for four years in a bookstore. I like to keep track of the books I read. Currently I work as a 6th & 7th grade history teacher at the only charter school in Berkshire County, as well as serve as a 6th grade advisor, Senior Seminar instructor, and the coach for the cross country team! Been experimenting as a pescatarian (eating only fish) since August 10, 2011. Just earned my Master's Degree in Adolescent Education for Social Studies. I have the most wonderful WIFE in the entire world.. EMMA! October 16, 2010
