I dont even know if I can put into words for today. Running means so much to me on so many different levels. I started running YEARS ago as a way to workout. Now I run for my HEALTH and SANITY! (tee hee) Yet, somewhere along the road I discovered the joy of sharing my passion with others. Helping new runners (or people who had NEVER run before) find their joy & passion in running. Seeing others achieve a goal literally brings me to tears. I have been a Shoreline Squad Leader for many years, but this year was THE BEST year! My squad had me in tears a couple weeks ago as they pushed themselves to BE THEIR BEST! Never complaining, BUT encouraging and supporting EACH OTHER! Today I ran my 2nd Shoreline Classic 15K with Ty Moffett. Ty is a local runner with cerebral palsy. I met him a few years ago and have had the pleasure of being his friend and watching him continually succeed at setting new goals and crushing them! I will be part of TEAM Ty in April as he completes his first marathon. After I crossed the Finish Line today with TEAM Ty, I went back out and met up with another group. Running with a new friend completing her first 15K. She had never run that far before, has lost 120 lbs. Not even a year ago could she run half a block! I have met so many friends through running, especially my dear, sweet running sistas! We may not communicate everyday, but we all know we have each others backs....ALWAYS!!!
