My First Post

Welcome to my little corner of the world! I’m not tech savvy nor great with social media. It took me far longer to create this page than I’m willing to admit (This BASIC page), but here we are!

My running obsession began when I was in college. I had a “friend” tell me I’d be so much prettier if I lost 25-30 pounds and that I wasn’t built like a runner. This was after I had told him my goal was to run a marathon. Thanks to that guy and my wanting to prove him wrong, I’ve spent the past 13 years running. I should have been angry with him for those words, but instead, I was fueled by them (Maybe still a little hurt/angry. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THAT GUY IS AN A-HOLE). Now running is one of few things that define me and I’m better for it. I’ve finished 19 marathons in 16 states and am currently training for #20 in September.

There are thousands of runners across the globe; I’m not special. But if anyone can relate to anything I write, I call that a win. Also… I actually am kind of special just as is every person who has run a marathon (WE are the 1%).
