How it happened...
The dream started in 2003. I was 10 years-old and I said I wanted to run the 2011 NYC Marathon (I would be 18 and it was the first year I could participate). I got my love for the NYC Marathon from my dad. He and my godfather would toe up on the first Sunday of November every year. I wanted to be just like them! I didn't expect to fall in love with 26.2 miles after Nov. 6, 2011, but that is exactly what happened. Fast forward, I have completed 14 full marathons, 22 half-marathons and thousands of "junk" training miles. I was encouraged to start this running blog by my friend, Katie, since she interned at Runner's World in the summer of 2015. I have to be honest...I have no plan for this except to maybe journal how my training is going. But, I can promise to take you on a fun ride as I make my way towards 26.2 miles (wherever and whenever that may be). |
