In early 2008, speeding up to catch a bus or make the light was the most I ever ran. When Thanksgiving plans ended up including a race I thought I wouldn't make it to the turkey. But even though running the race with almost no training (don't try this at home) felt like death warmed over, and I was sure I'd end up as roadkill on the Prospect Park hill, the experience changed me. In 2009 I decided to run and by 2010 I'd run my first New York city Marathon.

I've been blogging about running since 2009 and I've run at least a race per month since then. Through my running, I've inspired dozens of friends and acquaintances to lace up and hit the pavement.

Running has improved my life. Get ready to improve yours.
