About me:
I'm 31 years old, married, with 2 dogs and a cat. I've had diabetes since my 10th birthday. It's just part of my life now, so I don't really think much about the challenges associated with it. |
Why do I run:
I run because it makes me feel good about myself, I enjoy it, and it has a huge impact on controlling my diabetes. |
Why I started running:
I got a puppy my sophomore year of college because the 2 roommates I was supposed to have didn't come to school fall semester. I got the puppy from a family friend who told me it was a lab mix. Turns out she looks & acts like a border collie - VERY HIGH ENERGY! I started out walking with her every day to keep her calm enough for me to study & do homework. It wasn't long before even long walks didn't wear her out so I started adding some jogging into our walks. Eventually we were jogging the whole time :-) |
