A lot of non-runners question my sanity when I tell them I run five days a week at 5:30am. Hopefully those who question why… will see this commercial wonder why they don’t join me in this early morning ritual!

A friend emailed me these ads about running. She knows me well… I love them and thought you might enjoy them too.

If I’m bored at work… some days I’ll wrap up my work early and go out and get a high off the adrenaline of an impromptu physical challenge… today was one of those days. I decided to run up a 1km incline… Why would I do this? Well about 1/2 way up the hill I asked myself that exact same question!

For everyone out there who has been telling me they want to learn how to run… this is your chance! I’m now a running clinic instructor! I won’t promise it will be easy… but I do guarantee you we’ll laugh and (learn to) enjoy ourselves!

Obviously runners around the world are lovers… not haters!

There is an unexplainable happiness that rushes through my veins when I run… it’s hard to believe a year ago I found running difficult because now it is the favorite part of my day.

I’ve only run 10km once before…it almost killed me… this time wasn’t much easier but I was able to shave 3 mins and 26 seconds off my first attempt! Sweet victory for me!

For those of you new to this blog, when I started running last year, I decided to give myself a […]

I keep wearing out my sneakers, not on the soles but on the ankles. What’s the deal with this? What adds to this mystery is my cousin has the same issue!
