Starting it off!
Well here it goes, my first post on my first blog. Kind of exciting, kind of intimidating! Let's hope I can keep it up.
A little about me. Currently I reside in Houston, TX, but have lived in numerous places prior to this (to name a few - Washington, California, Wyoming, Iran, Egypt, Bahrain). I ran a little in high school and college, but did not do any serious training until August, 2004. That is when I joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.
On January 16, 2005 I completed my first marathon (HP Houston) and on February 13, 2005 I finished my second (Freescale Austin). On May 30, 2005 I completed my first Olympic distance triathlon (Capital of Texas Triathlon, Austin). About a week after that I broke the 3rd toe of my right foot at the metatarsophalangeal joint. Very bad break, and after 6 months and a bone stimulator my doc finally gave me the okay to start running again. Yeah!! I have done a little running since then, but with the holidays and such - no major training has taken place. But the New Year is here and the new shoes were purchased last night. I am ready, so lets go!!
ps - the next running events I plan on doing are the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run on February 25, 2006 and the Blue Bell Fun Run on March 25, 2006.

oooh new shoes :) i love getting new shoes!
Both those upcoming races sound like fun. You're definitely in Texas. I don't think there's a rodeo run up here in the Northeast! Good luck running in the new year!

Welcome to the blogiverse.
There's a chance you'll see me on the bike... or in the pool. If you catch me running I have to grant you three wishes, I think. You have a better shot at catching a leprechaun.
