Just a quick intro (I'm cheesy)

[Rachelle Reynolds]

I'm Rachelle, I live in Brooklyn Heights and am *cough* years old.  

I have been running for 5 years but have carried the nickname of "Calamity Jane" after bilateral hip surgeries to repair torn cartilage and two stress fractures - and that's just from running (I have others from swimming and cycling)!  

Regardless, I truly love running, actually used to be on the Harriers team and an active runner in NYRR races (including 2 marathons), but since my career change to RN working nights in the ER, I've gained a good 10 pounds, have barely trained at all and have gotten significantly slower than my normal slow-self.  So I figured joining a group again will get me out there more.

I am doing Ragnar Relay in Cape Cod next weekend and am a scared little lamb because I've seriously done about 10 3-4 mile runs in preparation and am currently running about a 12:00/mile.  It is sure to be a whine-fest but I will survive, and I hope to meet many of you out at the run on Thursday, May 15th!
