My running debut took place on July 16th, 2012. Yes I did track/cross country a little back in high school but that was a LONG time ago and I always felt like a failure because it was all about competing in track meets, and I usually came in last!
I honestly don't know what inspired me to go for a run on July 16th, but I did and haven't stopped since. I am hooked! Running has become apart of who I am. And my only competition is myself. I'm certain I have gone off the deep end and gone to looney land because I will actually get up before the sun and purposely run in the cold, dark, and rain. Yes I am a nutcase!
I want to use this page to highlight some of my favorite runs and races. I also want to encourage anyone out there who is thinking about or brand new to running that if I can do it...so can you!! Running is my time to think, to pray, to worship, to talk with a friend (who knew I would ever be able to talk and run at the same time? I've got serious talent), to challenge myself, to get frustations out, and to push myself to go beyond what I think I am capable of.
