I've been running for 20 years and plan to run at least another 20 years. I started running while working a full time financial analyst job at The Coca-Cola Company and I was also attending MBA school at night. Running developed out of a necessity to find a quick exercise that fit into my busy life at that time. Just lace up your shoes and go. Previously, I was mainly a gym class girl....think step aerobics! When I started running, I have to be honest, I hated every minute of it. I could not run a mile and it was very painful. Shin splints, chest pain, side stitches, etc. etc. But I persevered and fell in love with the joy of running. I've experienced the runners high and I will never give it up! I have a passion for sharing the joy of running with others and I'm excited to continue on my running journey. I hope you will join me on my adventure.
