About

I’m Megan. I’m a runner living in the Washington, DC area. I work for the federal government, but in the interest of keeping my job, I won’t talk about that much here. It isn’t all that interesting anyway.

So as you can tell, I’m trying to transition this site to more of a running blog. I started running in 2006 using the Couch to 5K plan. I wasn’t fast, but I ran a 5K that year.

When I moved to DC, I tackled longer races, namely the ten miler.  In 2010, I ran my first half marathon.  Then I ran another one, and another one, and became Half Fanatic #622.  What also happened that year was that I was diagnosed with some heart rate issues.  I refuse to call it a condition.  I should write about it someday, but what it ultimately meant was that I had to slow down my running, and I ultimately ended up becoming a Galloway run/walker.  I have to admit, I love it – I feel so much better after each run, and I completed three half marathons before the end of 2010!  Clearly, something is working right.

2010 was about conquering 13.1.  2011 was about making new friends and loving the run.  2012 is about getting back into shape and continuing to love the run.  And about finding more new friends along the way.
