Hi everyone-
As my user name states, my name is James A. Whitehead. I go by Jim. I have been a runner since I was 12 (I am 24 now), but I have been plagued by injuries for the last ~3 years, so my running has taken a back seat to cycling. The injuries that have plagued me include: shin splints, stress fractures (bilateral tibial), cracked ribs (mountain bike crash), and I have been nursing a sprained ankle since July.
I ran cross country in high school, and am now wanting to run half marathons and marathons (with an occasional 5k/10k thrown in). I have started training for a marathon 3 different times, and each time have managed to hurt myself in one way or another.
My reasoning for joining is to find people to run with in the Ann Arbor, MI area, and to find events to compete in.
-Jim
