About me:
I'm 26 and kind of a running geek (I got really excited when I noticed the many different features of this website, haha... "Wow, it tracks your total mileage of the year... it knows what shoes you wear... sweet!"). Other than that, I'm very caring, focused and determined but I also love to relax and laugh with the people I love most. :) |
Why do I run:
I run for so many reasons. I notice that when I run well consistently, I feel better about all aspects of life. I feel better physically, mentally, and even spiritually as I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and the way running imitates life. Nothing can top the feeling of meeting goals and surprising yourself by achieving more than you thought you could, coupled with a good old-fashioned runner's high... it's one of the best feelings I can think of. I hope I am fortunate enough to keep running throughout my life. It is a constant for me, something stable, and helps me to stay sane and focused on my goals. |
Why I started running:
I've been a runner since I was 15. I always loved it in gym class and it seemed to somehow come naturally to me. I quit figure skating and joined the track/cross country teams my sophomore year of high school, and the rest is history! 11 years later, I'm still running and loving every minute of it. While I didn't run competitively past high school, I now run for myself with the encouragement and company of my husband and dog (they have logs on here too... yes, both of them). |
