Mostly for my mental wellbeing. I used to run for the sake of it, I know nothing about controlling our heart rate. All I know was, the faster you run the faster you finished.

Came from a big track/CC family as a kid. Loved the competition. As an adult I still love to compete, but realize it is so good for keeping me healthy and centered.

I’ve always done sports. Running is perfect if you want to invest less money and manage your time!

At first I did just to work on cardio then I started to enjoying getting faster and exploring different trails in my city.

My dad had a scare with lung cancer. Thankfully it turned out not cancer, but I quit smoking immediately and started running. For mental and physical health.

It centers me!

My classmate from high school invited me to register for a race, where he would run the longer distance and I do the 3K one, and I said yes. 🏃🏻

Honestly, I couldn’t afford the gym anymore at one point. I was so broke I had nothing else to do. And now I’ve just stuck to it & added CrossFit on top. Super grateful for running!

It’s free and it’ll help me be better at my job

As a full time mom & caregiver I wanted something for myself that would enable me to carve out time for myself. Also to trim down for my 10th wedding anniversary. Celebrating 10years of running this year, ran my 1st 10k in November 2014 & I love my complicated relationship with running😂
