I am often asked why I sign up for runs and I usually respond with, why not? It’s become my peace. I may not be the fastest runner, but just moving feels great. I love the people that I encounter. The run group Black Girls Run of San Antonio has been one of my biggest motivators as of lately.
I started out running 5k races to now being able to run a half marathon. I plan on running a marathon in the next year. The energy and support are enough of a high to keep me coming back for more. I need to get into a routine here so that I can have that rush again. The physical training that I took part in this morning doesn’t count because I almost threw up a lung.
Even though I am not stateside at the moment, I keep running. Well, the Army makes sure of that, but I keep running for fun. I plan on signing up for a few runs in Seoul before the end of my tour here. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
