How many years have you been running?

I have been an off again on again runner for 8 years, originally I was training for a marathon until I was in a car accident that tore my PCL and a year later I had to have surgery on it. Since then, I have had problems with my knees and my acchilles on the leg opposite of the surgery. I have completed a 1/2 marathon since then but I really want to be able to run without hurting.

What is your goal race for the year?

I would like to do the long triathlon in Santa Barbara and either a 1/2 marathon or a marathon.

What is your greatest running accomplishment?

I completed a 1/2 marathon so far.

What is your "ultimate dream" running goal?

I would love to just run 5-10 miles for fun with longer runs on weekends. I HAVE to complete a triathlon and a marathon and I would be interested in trying further than that too! I would like to make running a part of me. I need to lose weight but that is not the ultimate goal--I want to lose the weight to be a better runner because I am carrying around a lot of extra weight but I don't want to just run to lose weight--does that make sense?
