Running is my hobby. It is one of the main ways I identify myself. What am I? I am a runner. No, I have never run a marathon, or even a half marathon, but that is all going to change this year. I have completed 2 5ks and 3 10ks, and each race I’ve gotten faster and faster. As much as racing defines a runner, I personally find the daily maintenance runs more important than the races. Getting out there every day whether it’s 30 or 100 degrees outside. Whether it’s pouring down rain or you’re pouring sweat just thinking about getting your 6 miles in when it’s 90 degrees and 90% humidity. That is how I define myself as a runner. I could train every day and never be the fastest, but I’m training every day and getting better. Also, I must say, I am pretty proud of my latest 10k time – 54:12.
