I've always run to be a better athlete in whatever sport was in season. My coaches instilled in me that "Fitness isn't everything, but without it, you have nothing." I increased my mileage in preparation for college soccer at UNA, but I started running more seriously once I began coaching Cross Country in 2004. There were 11 of us that year, and we had 1,000's of acres of national forest at our school doorstep. (And I had no idea what I was doing). Fast forward, after a few wrong turns and a lot of lessons learned, I've come to truely enjoy the atmosphere at the heart of this sport. It has a #Family environment that you cannot replicate; it has become my "Lifetime Sport."
I Run:
Running benefits my health and overall well-being; it is a great stress reliever at the end of a long day. I've recenly started Triathlons. It has been an awesome challenge, and I look forward to getting better.
