Why I'm doing this

I want my kids to see what showing up looks like, even on the days it's ugly.

My story

Three years ago I couldn't finish a mile without stopping. I signed up anyway, found a training group, and learned that the hardest part is lacing up. This season I'm chasing my biggest goal yet, and I'd love my sponsors' names on the journey.
