I'm a 30-something SAHM, wife, crazy cat lady, somewhat obsessed (yet still very slow) runner & cyclist. I finished 3 marathons before I got some smarts and said "no more marathons!" *shudder* I've also run just about every other standard distance from 5k to 25k, with a few trail races and a couple of trail relays thrown in (before I FUBARd my ankle during the 2nd said relay).

In late 2009 I added cycling the mix, which came in very handy after the 2nd-degree ankle sprain. The bike acquisition had more than a bit of Kismet to it, as I discovered that I'm a much stronger cyclist than I am a runner (which, really, isn't saying much...mostly I'm less mediocre at cycling than I am at running). I ended 2010 with 3500 miles on my bike and have plans to log at least 4k miles for 2011. In the past year+ I have taken a crack at duathlons (LOVE) and a time trial (meh.) and now have my sights set on giving cyclocross racing a go. I seem to have a bad habit of going from one pain-inducing activity to another. The fact that I find these things fun is clearly a sign of some mental deficiencies, I'm certain.
