I started running again in 2009. My first race back was the 5K as part of the 2009 Eugene Marathon weekend. It was a hard 3.1 miles and I took 58th place. Since I have been working on endurance and speed. The youthful speed I had when 18 might not ever be back but I am making gains.

In 2012 I am running 5k, 10K, 20K, 1/2 marathon, and 25K (possibly a trail marathon). Trail races are what I really enjoy.

I was considering a 50K trail race (SOB) but have decided to put that off and work on speed and races 1/2 marathon or shorter for 2012. Ultra may come later, 2013?

I run with a great group runners in Eugene. We get together for early morning runs and occasional trail runs in the area.
