My_Running	I have a total of 5 marathons and many 5-10k's under my belt. I love running both trails and roads. The beach is a favorite place for me. I am only 1 mile from it that is why I love it so. I usually run 4-5 days a week and usually one of those is a long run on the weekends. On day I wish to run a ultra marathon. One Day..
About_me	I am turning 30 this year. I am always keeping busy. From helping my family and friends to just relaxing. STOP What am I saying. The only relaxing times I have are when I am on vacation usually in December. I love running in Hawaii for the Honolulu Marathon every December. I missed last years but 02 is coming up fast. I will be there. Will you?
Running_story	I have a story that one day four of us were running in UCSC University of California located in Santa Cruz. It was a warm summer night. We started at 4pm and headed out behind the school. The first animals that we usually pass on this run is cows and lots of them. Well all was looking good until one of us feel behind and we stopped about mile 4 to let the lost one catch up. Since she was no where to be found. I chose to go look for her. Well before we stopped we passed a wild boar on the hills side and a few babes'. I told my friends to say put and I would be back. Well I passed the boar now for the 2nd time and all was ok. I went looking for our friend but no sign of her. So I decided to just meet up again with my buddies. Well the 3rd time that I passed the boar he did not like it. This reminds me of the kids story about crossing the bridge only that was with a nice billy goat. Well like the wind I ran to get away from this big black 5inch tusked that was chasing me down hill. I got away as you can tell. Well he left I started back up the hill for the 3rd time and well I made it to say the least. Well we all ran for 6 more miles and near the end of the run I and another friend were running stride for stride. In the bushes next to us was a sound that freaked us both. As soon as I was running faster, Melissa my friend was right on my heals. I mean still step for step We were just booking. Well we all made it and I have not been on that trail again since that day. Well that is my story.. Thanks for listening.
