Running
Me training on a treadmill
I finally figured out my perfet running pace
It all started when I decided to go on a fun run with friends. My buddies are pretty serious runners so it was everything but fun. We took off at an okay pace.
I was able to keep up for a little while. Then my asthma kicked in and I felt completely winded. I had to slow down to a complete stop. My friends were so worried, but I urged them to continue on without me. That day I took an Uber home. I thought I'd never run again. At least I would never run again with that group.
Months later I tried running again. Only this time I went out on my own. I ran at a pace that was slow enough for me to maintain. After a couple of miles I wanted to give up again. I slowed my pace down even more, but refused to come to a full stop. There was even a point where I walked an entire mile. I was so proud of myself.
I made it through my first five mile run. I was all alone and my paces was down to a crawl, but I did it. I never gave up. I think that is what I had to learn about pace.
The idea is to learn what works best for you and grow from there. I felt good and started running with my friends again.
“I never gave up.”

Let's take a deeper look into what tracks are made of
We know what the athletes are made. Grit, talent and drive.. you know the things champions are made of. This doesn't go for the track they run on. These tracks are firm and spongy.

My Son Created a Marathon Raising Money for My Brothers Battle With Cancer
My brother was always very fast. My family would joke that he could run before he could walk. He ran cross-country and track and field all through high school and college.

The one running accessory I would never run without is my armband
If you've ever run outside on a trail on a street you've probably had some kind of music on. So you know how frustrating it can be trying to handle your phone while running.

Running shoes for kids are important to have
Many adults believe kids feet are miniature versions of adult feet. That is a common fallacy that could ruin your kids feet. My son Jayden is four years old and is a new runner.
