Why do I run:
I like racing. I enjoy the challenge, the pursuit of obtaining goals. |
Why I started running:
I ran competitively in High School and College, but by my senior year I had drifted away from the sport.
Fast forward 5 years… My wife and her family signed up for “Race for the Cure” 5K in memory of her Aunt Pam. I signed up for the race and have kept running ever since.
I had forgotten how much fun and challenging running could be.
Running is hard and there is suffering when you test your limits; as with most personal challenges.
At the end of the day my hope is to have an experience that will make me a stronger person and maybe a story to share and inspire others.
