Running for Saucony!

It has been a while since I have last posted, as I have been extremely busy with training and life in general.
So, to start, I am furthering my professional life by attending Columbia University in the fall to study Human Nutrition!  I am thoroughly excited and ready for all that the Big Apple has in store for me!  I am confident that I will set and achieve many goals while living and working in such an inspirational mecca of the world.  I am going to do big things in the world of Nutrition. 

As for running, I am competing for fitness, I am competing for a release from the everyday stresses, and, oh yea, I am competing for the Saucony Hurricanes!  Whoo!  I am very pleased to be able to say that and very satisfied with my training and racing thus far.  So much more to do, but I have made great strides so far (pun intended!)  This coming Monday I will be racing in the Boston Marathon for Saucony alongside my Hurricane teammates and will be looking to set a PR.  I would love to hit a solid 2:37 or faster and I believe that I have done the training to be able to realistically accomplish this time.

Finally, I have achieved my goal of raising $1000 for the MDA, and then some!  I have hopefully helped to raise awareness for Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy in honor of my two cousins.

So, onward and upward I go!
