PREVIOUS RACES
I'm not a fast runner, but I love to run on both roads and trails! My race times span a fairly wide range (03:56 to 04:51 for marathons and 01:47 to 02:10 for half marathons). I'm heat intolerant, so if a race is hot, I will run very slow. If the race temp is around 45 degrees, I'm in my element. Unfortunately, my last two marathons had temperatures in the 80's. I need a cold weather marathon to redeem myself :).
