Running has brought me to incredible places, literally.  I've had a chance to compete in races throughout the United States as well as in England and Ireland.  Running has introduced me to many fantastic people, including coaches, teammates, and world-renowned athletes.  It has given me the confidence to push my body to new heights, whether it be fast races, 100-mile training weeks, that crazy 40-mile train run on the Appalachian Trail or dressing up like at turkey for a Thanksgiving 5K. That confidence also led me to create my own business. Most importantly, running has given me a lifetime of memories.  I could list "stats" here, but they are less important than the experiences.  Below are pictures of some of those experiences:
