To Run Is To Live

To me, running is living, it’s just that simple. The benefits and joys I’ve experience in regards to running are endless. Our body is the best gift we will ever be given. If we take care of it and it will take care of us and running is the best way I’ve found to take care of my body.

Half way there...

I’ve reached the half way mark of my training. Here’s how it’s been going so far…

Tough Mudder race report

This past Saturday I traveled up to Vermont to run the Tough Mudder. My older sister had signed up with some girls on her rugby team and the week before one of the girls decided not to run so I had planned on taking her place. Long story short, I needed her I.D. to get her bib number and the I.D. didn’t make it up to Vermont. I usually wouldn’t condone “bandit running” i.e.- running without being registered but with the specific set of circumstances I didn’t feel too bad about it. So my first (and last) time bandit running was coincidentally also my first (and last) time doing any race in the Tough Mudder series.
