Goal Type:

Recover From Injury

Running Accomplishments:

Really just starting out-Only two road race experiences so far:

Balloon Fest 5K 26:35 (7/2007)

Mt. Washington Road Race 2:13 (6/2009)

Short-Term Running Goals:

Recovering from Knee injury- traumatic dislocation leading to MPFL repair and microfracture surgery for a 2.2 full thickness articular lesion under my patella. I have just been given the green light to start jogging on a treadmill (or track clear of snow). I am hoping to be ready for the Mt. Washingtn Road Race in June... not sure if that is realistic, but I am very excited to start working towards it. I had to walk the majority of it last year and I would like to run 3/4 of it this year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

So much!

Personal:

30 year old female from NH

Enjoy hiking, running, fishing, climbing... novice in all areas, and interested in skiiing!

Went for a walk in the woods with Rich and Tal. Maybe 3 miles, but the steepest climb thus far. Used walking stick (very helpful). Took it slow going up. Had to go off trail a few times on the way down to avoid steep pitches. Noticed my right hip wasn't bothering me much- yeah!
