Friends & family, please read/forward/share/link/tweet/like/etc my first active.com article! My degree is in journalism and I worked as a magazine editor pre-kids. Many of you know I'm working on a nonfiction triathlon manuscript and would like to publish traditionally (hint: this is hard.) Opportunities like my volunteer role within active.com's triathlon community and writing articles for active.com help prove I have a platform, a way to connect with MANY readers/buyers.

I took San Diego Track Club Coach Paul Greer's run clinic at GOTRIbal's Annual Conference and Retreat in San Diego this month. I loved Paul's coaching style and enjoyed the clinic. GOTRIbal had a great lineup of speakers, a cool expo, awesome food and a beautiful venue.
Paul's bio: Paul Greer is an associate professor in Health and Exercise Science at San Diego City College, has a Master’s Degree in Physical Education and has 25 years coaching experience.

I liked your article :) I think I used to cross my arms when I raced, not sure if I do it anymore. I've been working on arm strength, I think that's helped.
I just recently started a blog, that is my current writing project. I haven't done much writing in the past few years so I'm working on improving my blog writing as of now.
When I was my fastest in H.S. I ran a 5:13 1500, just short of a mile. I believe it converts to just under 5:40 mile. I don't know that I will ever be running a mile for time again but I would love to reach that again. I have run a 6 flat in some 5ks, usually when I go out to fast!
Nice job on the article!! Isn't it nice to see things starting to come together career-wise? Keep your eyes on that vision and hold on tight!!
I liked your article too!!
Hope your book comes together!! I would definitely buy it!
I am currently working on an English paper for school, and it is about one of our childhood memories. It is really hard to choose one!!
Thanks Katie, Kelly Tanya & Chloe! Thanks for reading & commenting. It encourages me & helps with my project. Thank you!
I think my fastest mile was around 6:30 when I was in my early 30's... haven't done that in YEARS... I am a slow runner, but love to run and will continue to do so as long as my body will let me.
I will be teaching at a women's retreat this spring - so I will be writing that out... does that count?
