Calling all runners and running fans:
Today I start my day at 4am. I work the early shift which starts at 630. Why am up so early you may ask? Well, I just like to get up extra early to catch up on certain things like this blog I am updating on. After work I will run a 9 miler. Yesterday I had the opportunity to substit
ute teach for a good running friend of mine, Abby. I met Abby about two years ago at a school here in Riverside. Abby is from Michigan, where I believe she was born, grew up and went to college. Now she teaches English and runs regularly here in California. What's great about her is that she is in charge of the running club at her school, which is a middle school around here. How cool is that...these kids are getting an early start on their running. I remember not being able to start running regularly until high school, how sad!!! Back in the days they never had programs like this earlier on in a child's curriculum. I am sure some of these kids will have an advantage when going on to high school and college and decide to run competitively....lucky!!! Its great to see people like Abby doing their part in sharing their passion for this running lifestyle. The club meets early in the morning before school and runs a few miles regularly. They also compete at local running events on weekends. Oh and almost forgot to mention, last November, Abby ran here first marathon in North Carolina with here sister...woot woot!! :) She says she had a great experience and felt better than she thought she would. :) Keep up the good running Abby and keep sharing running lifestyle/spirit...living our lifestyle on the run, R U ?
