New kid on the block - hi!

I've been running on and off for a few years. I trained for a half-marathon at the beginning of the year, but a knee injury a week before the race made it impossible to compete. I've rested since May and am just now starting back into the running game.

Besides running, I ride horses. I have a (mostly) sweet horse named Good Witch Glinda. I bought her from my university riding program when I graduated because she's brilliant and we're a fantastic match. I'm a big fan of Zumba, too, and hiking. I like being physically active. :) When I'm not doing anything like the above, I'm an old lady at heart and love to sew and quilt and cook.

Boom.

Hi! Friends? :)

    Welcome to DM and back to running again! Knee injuries are no fun, but it really does make us appreciate running when the knee pain is gone! Invite on the way. Cheers!

    Hey Kayla. Welcome to DM. I am just getting back into the swing of things after being out of the game for a couple months too. I am sending you a friend request!

    Jeff - I agree - I've always had sensitive knees, genetically, and have been told riding and running aren't good for me. But the way I see it, if you love something, you just work around the obstacles. :)

    Nico - I think so. I'm just nervous running 12+ miles since that's what messed up my knee last time. Eep. Thanks for the FR. :)
