New start

It`s been a year of picking up running and dropping out due to my lower back injury/work schedule. Fortunately, I finally got into a routine again. Since beginning of March, I train under Juli Benson.

Juli Benson is the current US Air Force Academy head coach. She also did train Jenny Simpson leading up to her 1500m gold medal during the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. Besides a proven coach, she was an accomplished runner herself as she represented the USA in the 1500m during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

We'll see where we end up with, but I'm looking forward to gain overall fitness and get ready to race again.
