Running has always been in my blood. As a young girl, my brother told me I would be a good runner and motivated me run. When I hit the track back in middle school I fell in love with running and looking back at my track and field years running saved my life. I was depress most of my young years and lost after my brother passed away. But the only time I felt completely calm and at peace with myself was running. I wasn't the best, but I had great heart and always left it all on the track. I lost my passion for running for awhile, until my son was birth in 2010 and I felt into a bigger depression and I know what I needed to do to get out of it. So I ran and it was hard and my knees and ankles couldn't keep up. Then fast forward to 2014 and my life was turned upside down with my depression getting worst and the man I thought I was going to grow old with walked away. And the whole time my mind kept telling just run. So I started and it has helped me stay sane. I have been motivated my son to run with me. See him run a mile with me make me the proudest mom ever. That's how I know I'm going down the right path now. So now it's time to keep up the inspiration here. Running really has helped me see my happiness again.
