I can’t remember when exactly I started running.  What started out as a casual gym warm up exercise has now turned into a passion.   I started running when I was new to this place and didn’t really have a lot of friends.  I ran at the gym.  When I met J, little did I know that my running would get elevated to another level.  Like me, he found a passion in running.  We just finished the Disneyland half marathon.  A month from now, we are set to run the Rose Bowl half marathon.  Four months from now we will run the LA Marathon.

There is more than one reason why I run.  Running is my catharsis to the stresses in life.  Running makes my cholesterol and blood pressure at a safe level.  Through running I have met new friends.  Running makes me feel young.  Running pumps up my endorphins and gives me a certain sense of high.  With all that being said, there is no wonder why people “run” away from their problems.
