Why Do YOU Run?

Hello and Happy day to you!

Last week I challenged you to share with me the reasons why you do this crazy thing called running.

The response that I received was overwhelmingly awesome!

It was so cool to read everyone’s reasons, because they are all so different.

Looking for some motivation?

Read the stories below and I bet one of them will light a fire under your caboose.

I know it has for me!

So let’s get to it…

I think I can, I think I can…

Hello and Happy day to you!

As many of you know, I just (praise the Lord!) recovered from a minor hamstring injury that forced me to pull out of Rock n’ Roll San Diego.

Boo!

But! I am back running and haven’t had any problems with my hamstring since.

WOO WHOO!

I do, however, feel as though I have lost some fitness.

Or maybe it is in my head?

Who knows.

I am feeling a little off this week.

Hello and happy day to you!

On Saturday, May 7, 2016 I was the 2:30 pacer for the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon.

8 Reasons Why You Should Run the Hot Chocolate Race Series

Hello!

 

Happy Day to you!

I leave tomorrow for San Francisco to stay with my sister, and run the Hot Chocolate 15K race.

 

I can’t tell you how excited I am!

 

I have been wanting to run this race for a while now, so it’s great to be able to cross another race off of my bucket list.

 

 

YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!

 

This race series has so many perks, it’s nuts.

 

In celebration of my race this weekend, I thought it would be fun to recap all of the reasons why you should run this race too!
