"It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit." George Sheehan
2. No matter what is going on in life, when I run I think of nothing else. A mental break.
3. I love the feeling of passing people in a race (is that wrong?).
4. Staying healthy.
5. Being outside.
6. Reaching my goals no matter how big or how small.
7. Few things feel better than crossing the finish line.
8. Teaching Alec and Alyssa the importance of being active and an overall healthy lifestyle.
9. Works wonders for eliminating stress.
10. I've made some great friends.
11. Running is something we do as a family. Support. Encouragement. Together.
12. Setting a new PR is so cool.
13. How can I not love something that makes me this happy
