Missoula Half Marathon

So. I run. jog. waddle. :) I started running shortly after my twins were born. Just a way to get out of the house and be by myself for a few minutes. I had never run before. Never been athletic in any way. In fact, had previously despised running because I would get so short of breath. I found out that I had a mild form of asthma that, with knowing it was there, I was able to control my breathing and run. I started out running from my driveway to the next. And every night, just went a little further, driveway by driveway. I set my sights on running the Great Falls Ice Breaker... that would have been in April of 1997. I did it and from there just kept running. Many years later, I began running longer distances with a couple friends. I remember the day that I first ran 10 miles without stopping. I was alone and it was the coolest feeling when it was over.
