Apparently, my new running obsession has ignited a passion in the people around me.
One of my best friends who I “forced” to run my 5K with me has actually really taken to running. She sent me this text yesterday: I spent $125 on running clothes and I blame you.
A grad student who has been working in our office for the past month said that I’ve inspired her to train for another half marathon (she’s run 2 previously, but has been on hiatus).
Another one of my best friends who is coming to Nashville with me for the 4th of July and originally was going to just cheer me on in my 10k is actually training to run in the 5K portion of the race in Nashville! She doesn’t know if she’ll be ready or can run the whole time, but she’s training and hopes the heat in the south won’t kill her 😛
I’m so proud of all of my friends, I think surrounding yourself with a support system is so important. I’m thankful to have all of you on here, but having friends in real life will help me continue this lifestyle change.
