SAFD: I started running in high school to keep my weight down (oh, if I was only as “fat” today as I was then!) because it was cheap, quick and required not much more than a cute pair of Nikes and some headphones. Kept it up through my 20s, 30s and now 40s. 20+ years ago, I worked for a health and fitness magazine in San Antonio and while volunteering at the SA Marathon, I decided it would take “marching bands and Mickey Mouse” to make me run a marathon. I kept saying that all the way to signing up more my first RD marathon 6 years ago.
I’ve never been particularly fast and am usually dealing with some type of knee issue, but I plug away. Running has given me great friendships with some amazing people, and we’ve used thousands of miles as therapy sessions. It has also given me an excuse to get out of town on racecations, including my beloved Disney.
