Four. I am a 4x Half Marathon Runner!!!
So it I did it again! I was told my body was not meant for running. In high school, I constantly struggled to keep up with my long-legged friends. I have been mocked for being so slow! So why on earth would I sign up to run so many miles when it was not meant for me?

Just Keep Going!
The glory is not in the finish but in the journey. You prove more to yourself by how you prepare than by what you do on that one day you finally race. After I finished my second half marathon, I felt quite victorious. It was a Chariots of Fire moment! Okay, picture one with frames slowed down even more dramatically to match my pace. Haha! No shame here, I finished it! So put down that Dorito bag and let me tell you how I finished my third half marathon!!! Rock n’ Roll LA!

I Do Run, Run!
It has been my dream that I would one day run a marathon and write a book. Living in sprints, I found myself doing two half marathons and becoming a blogger. Works for me! In grade school, the gym teacher told me, “You are built for long distances!” Well, after being so out of breath trying to keep up with my long legged friends, I set running as a long distance goal. Leaving home and moving overseas, I experienced some homesickness and insomnia when an idea struck me, “Why not go for a run?” I left my apartment in Tokyo, Japan and ran a couple blocks and back. That night I slept like a baby. So I signed up for a gym. There I could train and fully relieve myself of stress. Now, I just had to figure out how to use all this equipment!
