Take your time, don’t rush.   If you decide to train for a race, go for it, but always make sure you enjoy the journey no matter what.

Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE Run Team.
I like to inspire others to run. We don’t need to be the fastest runner, it is about the journey and accomplishment. It is something we do for us and can’t be taken it away. My biggest accomplishment running was to inspire my family (Husband and two daughters 12 and 15 yrs old) to train and run a Half Marathon together in 2013.
