Well, that’s how it started. To get in shape, I’ve been running local 5-10k’s with some of the Inclind staff since last April. At first it was no big deal; by 9:30 most Saturday mornings we had our work-out in and had donated to a local charity. We were Inclind to Run (at least that’s what our shirts said)!

Now, I’ve become obsessed… It hurts to sit and type this as I just ran my second half marathon this past weekend. Why do I run? That’s hard to answer unless you’ve experienced crossing the finish line; it has something to do with personal growth and accomplishment. As I crossed on Saturday one of my best friends was there cheering me on, and she asked “How do you feel?”. I had to steal a line from one of my hero’s- Forest Gump. So I answered, “I’m pretty tired…I think I’ll go home now”.

A step in the path

Many steps in the journey

Joy is in the run

Will the obsession continue? I believe it will…
