Race Recaps

Although I ran cross country in high school, I only started racing recreationally in the past couple of years. I have to say I love it! It's great to be surrounded by other runners in such an exciting environment. And although I'm very competitive, when I'm out there all of the other runners feel like supporters and I am only competing against myself.

Training for a race is great motivation to lace up my sneakers and get out there. I find that I make healthier choices and spend more time outdoors. It's hard work, but the sense of accomplishment that I feel when crossing the finish line is worth every single mile of training.
