Running History:   I ran track in highschool, everything from the 400 to the mile, though I always thought of myself as more of a long distance person. I started running more regularly in college, peaking at something like 6 miles a day, 7 days a week, which lasted for about half a year and ended in several injuries which I don't seem to be able to overcome even after 2 years of cutting back to 3-4 miles two to three times a week.

Miles per week:  currently? um, no more than 10-15.

Paces:  8-9/mile. not sure anymore. i'm slower now that i was when i was running seriously.

Favorite Race:  never entered a race since highschool.

Best Running Experience: running up and down and through the mountains of barcelona.

Worst Running Experience:   any time my feet start to ache and i have to stop before the run's even started. that really gets me.

Diet:  Bad. Lots and Lots of Cheese. Lots of Burritos. But lots of Fruits and Greens Too.

Injuries:  plantar fascitis? some chronic pain on the bottom of my feet that no one's really been able to solve. i got orthotics, which definately help, but don't solve the problem. ocassional swelling of the achilles tendon too.

Non-Running Interests: 

Who would star as you in the Hollywood story of your life?  Salma Hayek? Only cause she's the only Hollywood star I can think of that looks remotely like me.
