First Post :)

Hello and welcome to my very first blog.

I'm Kate. I am an Associate Scientist for Pharmacogenetics Company, runner enthusiast, and self proclaimed foodie.

I'm getting started on one of my 2014 New Year Resolutions to create a running/food/science blog of my life in San Diego, California.

My fascination with running began in January of 2012 when I started training for my first full marathon (San Diego Rock and Roll) with Team in Training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. For those of you who wish to find out more about Team in Training, please visit my fundraising page and feel free to donate to this amazing cause!  http://pages.teamintraining.org/sd/rnr14/kchurch1bt

I am now a full blown addicted runner. I've ran 4 full marathons, a bunch of halves, and too many holiday 10ks. :)

Along with creating and maintaining this blog, I have also decided (along with my wonderful running partner, Miranda) to run 14 marathons/half marathons/15ks+ in 2014.

Here's a picture of Miranda and me climbing Mount Woodson in San Diego.
