So in 2014, I managed to run 800 miles. Four - 5ks, one- 10k, four - half marathons, and one full marathon. Not quite the 1000 miles like I was shooting for but still 800 miles nonetheless. I have learned a lot about myself in those 800 miles though. I have shared many laughs with fellow friends as well as strangers and I have also shed many tears during some runs, out of frustration, out of sadness, out of happiness. Running isnt a punishment or torture. Its character building and rewarding. Its a pain at times, yet a joy. I have watched one of my closest friends literally change her health with running in a little over a year. I wish for all of you that think Im crazy for loving to run, that I could just break off a fraction of how I feel post run or race and give it to you. It is such a high. Im never going to win any races by any means (granted my medal collection is becoming quite extensive), but its not about winning, its about bettering yourself and finding out how strong you really are; physically AND mentally. Happy New Year and here is to running MANY more miles this year!
