I have been following many blogs since I started blogging in November.  I have found that so many of them are inspiring, funny and full of information that I can use in my own life.  One of those blogs is, Mommy, Run Fast!  She completed her first marathon in 2011, as well as many other races and also blogs about healthy eating and living.

She has been doing a series on Purposeful Running, and has asked her readers to share their stories with her.  At first, I was hesitant because I didn't know if what I had to say was what she was looking for.  It took me some time to think about what purposeful running meant to me, and how I could put it into words. Writing is not easy for me and I didn't think I would have as many readers as I do.  I thank each and every one of you who has read and commented and cheered me on.  

After having the setbacks that I have had, I have to say, this couldn't of come out at a better time.  I read it today and am certain that I will run again.  I have to, it is what I do and who I am.  It is not the only thing that defines me, but it is one of the things that makes me feel fulfilled.  Thanks Laura!

So here you go, what purposeful running is to mean.

  2. I agree, as i was just at Rite-Aid going thru every bandage, ace bandage, sports tape out there. Deciding how to make the pain in my toe, foot stop, so I could be out there! I even thought, I could stop running, but that thought left my head, as quick as it came! Too many benefits come from running! Emotionally and physically. It was beautiful out today in OH. Running is another way to get out there and soak it all in! Happy Running all!
