Description
Have you ever wondered why someone would run a marathon? What could possibly be waiting at the finish for anyone to want to toe the starting line of a 26.2-mile race? Fortunately, there are many reasons – from physical challenge to weight loss. I’ve run nine marathons, and am currently training to run my tenth. My reasons for running are deeply rooted and can be traced back to when my father began running in 1982. I was just 6, but watched him train for 10Ks, 10-milers, half marathons and finally, marathons. Little did I know how much running would become a part of me, thanks to my dad. But running marathons has also made me a firm believer that anyone can do it. And I’d like to tell you why.
