Piling on the miles as a runner can make for tired dogs . . . and by dogs, I meet feet that are barking at you for relief. Even if you don’t run or workout much, having a job (err, like being a mom), that keeps you on your toes all day, can also make feet start to feel a little unhappy.

I was thinking about all the things that running has taught me over the years, and I tried to capture the most important in this post. I wasn’t a child prodigy runner, nor was I on the school XC team. But, I HAVE been running for 30 YEARS and it has blessed me with so many amazing experiences. 
These experiences have included running marathons all over the country and even representing Houston in the Athens Marathon; pushing myself and meeting new friends on overnight 200 mile relay races; missing an Olympic marathon qualifying time by seconds, but getting to run with the Torch in the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay; setting event course-records at the mile distance and the half-marathon distance while being in my 40s; and most recently, winning the RCAA 10 mile Texas State Championship in the “Super Master” division last year . . probably my favorite distance of all time.
