Running has let me be my best mentally and physically. I feel that there is nothing that I cannot do in any aspect of life. It has made me bold as well, driving and traveling to various races, usually by myself.
As I get older, I know that many people put physical pursuits to the side. I do even more! I believe that if I can keep running as I go into my 70s, 80s, and beyond, that I will be doing the most I can to stay fit and live productively. Also, it is fun! I am doing more trail races now and I have so much fun doing them. Also, I meet such great people everywhere I go and make friends at every race. I belong to several running clubs and join them for team events.
I run anywhere I can! Usually around my neighborhood because I have it measured out and it is a safe route. Also, I run races as often as I can.
I started wearing Brooks shoes a couple years ago and I love the way they fit. I have a ton of running t-shirts from previous races and try to give them each some attention, haha! I also love running tights with pockets because I like to have my cell phone with me to connect to Strava. I also could not do without my Fitbit.
I am an education junkie and have four Master’s degrees, several certifications, and I’m now in a Doctor of Health Science program. I never want to stop learning or running.
To keep running into my 90s (or beyond!). When you believe in yourself, there is nothing you can’t do! I have run several half marathons and hope to do another one in the fall of 2021. I want to do at least one half marathon a year. I am too busy to train for a full marathon!
