- I want to lose weight. I have a big weight-loss goal, and running is an easy, inexpensive, convenient way to get a solid cardio workout.
- I want to do something not everyone does: run marathons.
- I want to feel strong.
- I want to look good.
- Races are a lot of fun. I enjoy getting out there--everyone is so friendly and encouraging. There's a real camaraderie on the course.
- I enjoy doing something that not everyone does. Running seems to be getting popular, but I still know a lot of people who don't run and don't race.
- I don't want our kids to ever struggle with their weight. I think seeing me running and racing will encourage them to be active.
- I don't ever want to be on medicine for blood pressure or cholesterol or anything else long term.
- Exercising helps alleviate stress.
I'm using this blog to keep me on track with my fitness goals and to comment on training, races, and cheering on all the other racers in my family.
