This is not a usual activity in January in Michigan
I am not complaining! Tonight is a night cross country race that I've done the past 3 years. It seems to be warmer each year. Last year it was very muddy and I suspect that it will be again this year. I'm planning to wear knee-length tights!
I am a runner, I've run 6 marathons and every race distance between that and 5K. I have done 1 sprint triathlon so far.
I started this blog when I went back to college in Jan. 2009 at the age of 46.(thus the title, "runner nerd"!) I was the world's oldest college student! I graduated December 15, 2012 first in my class! I really was a nerd!
After a long career in EMS, I needed a change. Since earning my degree, I work in a hospital as a Respiratory Therapist.
I have 2 grown up kids.
