Running is my favorite form of exercise, favorite way to get moving, favorite way to clear my head. For me it is the best form of physical and mental therapy.
I tell people that I am like Forest Gump when I run - I can just take off and run until I don't want to run anymore. I am a minimalist when I run - I do not run with music or hydration, just my iWatch to track my stats (and in case of emergency).
I just completed my 6th half marathon and ran my personal best. My goal was to finish under 2 hours and I killed it at 1:56:58! I love meeting and smashing goals, I love the feeling of accomplishment and how strong running makes me feel.
I don't run to loose weight or change my body. I run because I absolutely enjoy how it makes me feel. There are better forms of exercise if your goals are to loose weight (strength training is my #1 recommendation) and please know that cardio only is not a good plan for weight loss. A balanced fitness program, proper nutrition, healthy sleep habits and hydration are key to healthy living.
I am happy to share my love of running and encourage you to lace up a good pair of running sneakers and start the journey with me. I have several training options and programs for run training. Get in touch if you want to run farther, faster and more efficient!
