Why do I run:
I love the feeling of accomplishment, and the health benefits have been enormous for me. I want to live a few extra years so I can spend them with my grandchildren, and running helps me invest in that potential future. |
Why I started running:
In October 2004 my doctor informed me my triglycerides were through the roof and I was in danger of a heart attack in the near future. Not something you want to hear at 36 years old. He suggested I exercise, so I started running for the first time in at least a decade. |
