My Running Personal Records (PR's)

IMG_5734.jpg

Running is a passion of mine:

It is a moving meditation; a time to clear the mental cobwebs; a time to think to about everything; a time to think about nothing; a challenge for my mind, body, and spirit; a journey of independence, strength, and grit; my love.

I believe that running is just like any other life skill: small improvements, compounded over time, make large changes.

I love to see myself get “faster” over the years, as I accumulate experience, mileage, and the proverbial blood, sweat, and tears.
