Started in the Spring of 2013...when I made the statement "we should run a 5K".
So we did.
After (not) following the C25K program very well, a few if my friends and I suffered through 3.1 miserable miles in a small Iowa town. It took me 37 minutes. And to this day, is one of my favorite accomplishments.
Why?
Because at that time in my life I needed something that was mine.
A place to get away.
Something to ease the loneliness.
A reason to push myself to be healthier.
An many, many more reasons....
In June of 2013, I did not know that this decision would lead a summer of 5k's, an adventure race, multiple 10k's, multiple half marathons, a marathon, and great friendships.
Running changes everything.
That 5k was what started my love affair with running.
