Why do I run:
Because of my vast improvement from the summer of 2009 to current, I can tell that God has blessed me with a gift of physicality and I feel by reaching for my fullest bodily potential, I am honoring Him. I run to improve and to enjoy the beautiful, albeit sinful, body God has created. |
Why I started running:
My wife [then girlfriend] told me January of 2009, "Hey, you should join cross country next year." And I was all, "Yeah right, I haven't ran more than a mile in my entire life, in high school soccer, running was the bane of my existence...." She then preceded to tell all of my friends, that happened to be on the team, that I was joining the next season. Me, not knowing anything about the sport said, "What the heck, I guess I can learn to run a couple miles, eventually."
After that, me and her "trained" a month before the season where I started out at a 10 minute long run to finishing the season at a 35:49 minute 8km pr.
I fell in love with running and I get tingles just thinking about where I'm going to be in a few years. |
