Interesting Story
I started running again at age 31, after two years of running in high school. I train solo in and around Boston, and have logged more than 1,000 miles around the 1.5 mile Jamaica Pond loop. Proud user of a vintage Sears Roebuck treadmill that works about 70% of the time. I'm a reviewer/contributor to RoadTrailRun.com, so I've been fortunate to test more running shoes than I can remember.
