  I love to run. I know, to some, it sounds crazy. I always get asked that question, why? My answer, because i can. I love to run for many reasons. I don’t run to loose weight, I run because I love the idea of being able to explore places you can’t bring a vehicle. I run simply because it gives me a chance to relax and think about the many things that are going on in my life. I love that feeling you get when you’ve just ran twelve miles and you still have on more to go. It’s that feeling of complete and total exhaustion where all you want to do is cry, and the combinations of feelings you get when you finish. Feelings like; fatigue, relief, and accomplishment. I must admit, I’ve never been much of a hard-core trainer. In fact, I hate it and always have. Don’t get me wrong though, I do love to compete. Competition and I, it’s sort of a love/hate relationship. With the exception of the 800m, Ive competed in everything from the 100m up to a 1/2 marathon.
  After having a baby, runnings been some what of a struggle, but im slowing coming back. I just signed up to be a member of the USA Track and Field, and my goal is to run my first marathon next April!!

"I believe in running with all your heart. With every fiber in your body fairly, squarely and by the rules to win.
