This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

I Am a Runner

Today's Quote of the Day from Runner's World is this:
I AM A RUNNER because I run. Not because I run fast. Not because I run far. I AM A RUNNER because I say I am. And no one can tell me I'm not. 
~John Bingham, author and runner 
I have been running for about 15 years now.  I started thinking of myself as a runner about 4 years ago.  I had already run some half marathons, but when people asked me, I would say, "I run."  I did not say, "I am a runner."  Somewhere along the way that changed.  I am not only a runner, now I am a marathoner!!

It doesn't matter if you've been running for decades or if today was your first run.  Say it with me now, "I AM A RUNNER."

    I saw this quote this morning and almost posted it myself. "I'M A RUNNER!" I like the sound of that!
