I love what you said about being a runner, I congratulate myself and anyone who has just stepped outside and spent time running. I am so grateful I love running. I feel like I have an individual relationship with running that has nothing to doAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001258900398859947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-29161789740347440012013-09-25T09:14:44.040-06:002013-09-25T09:14:44.040-06:00Congrats on the accomplishment!

Like you said, it's not the distance that matters but what you get out of it. Keep running with that joy. And keep taking photos... they're beautiful!<br /><br />http://currenttempo.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-56304843526238894922013-09-24T20:08:25.882-06:002013-09-24T20:08:25.882-06:00I loved this post.

I've only ran 2 5k's and I definitely feel pressure from certain ppl that you need to go further to be a "runner". I agree, if you're out there running you're a runner, no matter how far you go! :) Thanks for the encouragement.

I just did my first half marathon this summer after being a runner for 4 years and only doing one race prior to this. It was heaven for me. I'm glad you enjoyed your marathon and feel that accomplishment.

My runs are so much about numbers (which I love, numbers drive me), your runs are about an experience. The mountains you climb, things you see, the unknowns of trail running. . . inspire me.

It felt awesome to finish, and I am enthusiastic for anyone who wants to do one, but it felt just as awesome as my other races like you mentioned. Plus I had a hard time with the amount of time it took for training, it required so much time away from my jenniferhoiyinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319432038641819856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-58213804370991766112013-09-24T08:26:38.243-06:002013-09-24T08:26:38.243-06:00I'm a relative newbie to your blog; a sister m...I'm a relative newbie to your blog; a sister missionary serving in our ward who's also a runner told me about you!<br /><br />I love your story.

And I've NEVER done a marathon and don't really care to. But I've run thousands and thousands of miles/dozens of races so I've always considered myself a runner. Back when I started no one ran...everyone I knew hated running.twinsontherunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316721527184452747noreply@blogger.com
