Random thoughts: running

The things you are scared of are actually the most worthwild.

-Chasing Liberty

I've been a runner ever since i was 14. I ran throughout high school and college ( Track & Field and Cross Country) and i loved it. I love the fact that i can put on my trainers  and run for hours without any care in the world.

Over  the years, running has become my stress reliever...one way for me to obtain a peace of mind.

        Since graduating college  back in '09, i have not had many opportunities to compete in long distance running event until recently:

• I ran the Humane Society of Naples 5k last spring. It was by far the slowest 5k i ever ran in my life but it was fun getting back to races again.
• Then i ran the Color Run 5k in St. Pete back in December with Chuckie and a couple of her friends. It was a blast!

•  Then came the Disney World Marathon this past January. I ran 26.2 miles! The first 10 miles was easy since i run 10 miles every Sunday...then came mile 11. My legs were begging me to stop but by the grace of God i ran into my Editor in Chief of ILJ who was running the marathon with his dad. We pushed each other to finish the race.

I plan on running another Disney World Marathon in the future. I had a great time there. It was well organized, clean hotel and the people were nice.
