    Running has given me so much! I’ve made a career out of my passion, been to great places and take better care of myself because I run. But for me, it’s the people I’ve met along the way that keep me going strong.

    That is another reason why I love running. Because it puts two of my favorites things together, running and traveling. Love racecations!

    Running has always been my go-to for stress release. When I fell out of running, and my job got really stressful, I wasn’t fun to be around. I quit that job and got back to running. Life got good again.

    Oh! I love your answer! There are so many good answers to this question, but I went with Friends! I do love that running has taken me so many new places, both locally and in other states, that’s been a huge part of it, but I think I’d never have made it to those places without my friends.
