Hi!  This is my inaugural blog post here on knee1.com.  I started running about 3 years ago as a way to stay in shape and have fun.  Currently, I'm training for my third half-marathon.  This blog will cover my personal running experiences as well as share general advice about how to train well and avoid injuries. 

In a just a little less than 6 weeks, I'll be participating in the Big Lake Half Marathon in Alton, New Hampshire.  It promises to be a very different experience than my first two halfs, which were both city-based with completely flat courses.  However, I'm looking forward to it!
