This week's theme is Running Inspirations. I need to get to bed soon so this post will be short and sweet :)
1. My family
I get to see my little siblings in 2 weeks and then my brother in 4 weeks (yes, I am going to Texas 2 times in October and I couldn't be more excited!!). They inspire me because I want to show them that you can do anything you put your mind to!
2. My Boyfriend
His first half is coming up: Avengers!! We have his long run planned next week (he will do 10, I will do 15) and I could not be more excited. I run so I can inspire him to do great things and also run to make him proud.
3. The Elites
Meb, Deena, Shalene, etc. They are ROCKIN' it and I love it! It is so inspirational to see them train so hard and do so much. They inspire me to try harder, try well and realize that I am capable of great things.
4. Bloggers
I love reading everyone's journey, stories, recaps. They all inspire me to keep up the good work and also they help to make race weekends so fun!
5. Myself
Above everything else, I run for myself. I love the me time I get while running and I love the sense of accomplishment that comes from setting up training plans and sticking with them and I love the way I feel while racing. It's part of the reason I get so emotional at the end of races-I have literally put my heart and soul into this.
How about you? What inspires you?
