"Runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'..."

I have had SO much fun running this past year, especially since hiring my coach, Emily.  She has reminded me, in every way, how much I love running.  I've felt a passion for racing that I haven't had in a long time, and it is fuuuuun.  As an added bonus, I'm getting faster and faster each week!  Who knew that at 36 years old, I could run this fast?!  I certainly didn't.  I haven't felt this strong or fast since college, and I've knocked out some cool PR's since that first 1:19 half I raced almost a year ago.  

It's also been really fun to have a good group of girls to run with.  The running community is amazing, and it's been awesome to have good running friends again!
