Running For Good
Birth-2012: Sweating is gross. Running hurts my ladies. I get huffy/puffy up a single flight of stairs. Did I mention sweating is gross?
May 2012: Finished a master’s degree & started my own social media consulting business (read: lots of sit-down computer time.) Met a guy that said his main hobby was running. Laughed in his face while I sipped my beer.
June 2012: Walk into a running shop just to browse with aforementioned guy. Spot an adorable coral & Tiffany blue running ensemble. Spend $170 on a running bra, socks & outfit. Still laugh about running but try anyway in order to justify impulse buy & open Pandora’s box of my shoe addiction.
July 2012: Get over sweating “ick-factor” fall for idea of running for charity…
…Signed up for the runDisney Tinkerbell Half Marathon to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. And the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single neon sneakered step.
