Sadly, I have had to ease up on training due to an old injury in my knee that was aggravated from my daily training. After a couple of weeks off, I’m back in the game with an adjusted regime.

If I don’t run in the wee hours before dawn, I know I won’t run at all. Because I’m on the road when most people are still in bed, I want to have a running buddy to keep me company and make me feel safe. As it turns out, I have two. Marley joins me on my longer runs and Roxanne comes along for the easier ones (yes, they are my canine companions).

As a former teenage athlete, I learned how to push myself through aches and pains in training. Throughout life, I have always carried that on; an ability to not quit pushing myself, to go further and do better. The problem after high school with sports was that I couldn’t make the time or didn’t have the time to exercise.

I imagine that if you interview every runner at the start of a race to ask why they are there, you’d get as many responses as there are runners. As for me, I started for a random reason. I wanted to see if I could actually finish a half marathon.

I’m hoping to run a personal record at the Atlanta Women’s 5K this Saturday. So with four days to go, I’m preparing myself both mentally and physically. I can’t believe it’s the last week of Women on the Move- I’m really going to miss these Tuesday night runs- but I look forward to seeing everyone at the event on Saturday!
