My running story

Hello there blogosphere. This is my very first run blog, I have been wanting to do one for a while now and finally set one up. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a 29 years old Union Sheet Metal Worker from Ohio and have been running for about 4 years now. I have done 2 full marathons (2013 Akron, and 2014 Cleveland), 3 half marathons (2013 Cleveland, 2014 Medina and 2015 Medina) and a handle full of 10ks and 5ks. Running has opened up a whole new world for me, from making new friends to being in the best shape of my life. I wish I had started when I was younger but hey, at least I'm staying active in my life. I've dealt with the usual running problems, from shin splints, broken toe nails, to more recently knee cartilage all of which have just pushed me to get stronger and made me faster. I work out when I can at a local gym. I also have a road bike I ride only off days from running. I hope this blog keeps my motivation to run going and I hope anyone who reads this shares some comments with me. I'll be writing soon about my last race which was a half marathon this past Saturday. Till then I'll talk to you guys later! Happy running
