training

Winning isn't everything if it means your health is damaged. I learned this lesson the hard way. I was a runner, "was" being the operative word. I still can't really run without feeling discomfort and pain. I trained really hard in high school and considered running competitively in college until a serious injury crippled me in the fall of my junior year of high school.

Many people around L.A. are training for the Los Angeles Marathon. I am one of those. People may think that we are crazy for running such a length, but I guess they CAN call us that. I don't know why I run so much, but I just enjoy it. This marathon will be my 5th marathon that I get to run. Running is a way for me to relax, enjoy the view, and get my stress taken away.
