Just ran my first full marathon in July of 2009 and my first ultramarathon (31.1 miles) in October, with many more planned.

 

Also quit smoking December 24, 2007.

I would love to add some friends to have a bit of a support network. CC has thus far been a lifesaver for me. I am a bit shy and tend to just kind of lurk, but it would be nice to have some people to contact for support, so anyone can feel free to add me!
