As a person with minimal hand eye coordination and an affinity for being hit by the ball (soccer ball, baseball, basketball… you name it) running has been one of the only sports where I feel like I have a fighting chance.

And sometimes it really is a fight.. grinding through a long run or getting out the door for some hills. It is not an easy sport and for me the toughest part is staying motivated.

But boy oh boy when I do buckle down, actually stick to my training schedule and cross the finish line at a race, that is where the magic is! And that is what keeps me coming back.

I am starting this blog as a way to stay accountable during training and ultimately make magic happen. Join me as I document the many highs and lows of training for long distance running.
