1/2 Marathon- 

Profile - I run with the hopes of returning to my previous racing form. I was in a car accident in August of 2007 and spent 2 weeks in a coma and 2 months in the hospital. Obviously I lost a lot of my previous
fitness. I was in fairly good shape at the time, I had run a 17:24 the afternoon before the accident. I run because I was not ready to give up racing when the accident forced me to take a break so I'm seeking to
reclaim some time lost. I also run because it's the only thing that keeps me sane when college becomes overwhelming. I'm studying to be a mechanical engineer.

Goals- Break 5 in the mile again, run sub 1:30 in the half, run 100 miles in a week at least once
