Hi! This is my very first blog post ever. I am excited to share with you my experiences, pains and running/weight stresses.
A little bit about myself: I am a Marine which automatically makes me a runner right? NOT! When I was younger (<10 yrs old), I used to wake up early in the morning to sit at the top of the stairs, looking outside waiting for my dad to come back from his morning run. I tried to run with him maybe once or twice, and I didn’t like it. Then I joined the Marine Corps, and I did run, mostly out of obligation and just to get it over with. I went through a stage where I liked it and then that stage also disappeared.
What is different this time then? Well at this stage in my life, I feel like I NEED it, when I run it is my alone time, my thinking time 🙂 I have set milestones such as losing weight, increasing my competitiveness at work and competing and that drives me. Not only that but I have “met” a group of people who run like me and they push me to be better, I will always treasure their friendship which wouldn’t have happened if running had not brought is together… Well this is it for now, talk to you soon
We’re all glad you found us too. The Internet provides a unique way to let us enjoy a very solitary experience, and still share it.
Glad you have found running as an inspiration and that it has opened new doors for you to meet new people and reborn.
