Back in 2012, my friend Amber and I had decided to enter into our first 5k run together. Neither of us had ever ran in a race before so we we’re super excited. We wanted it to be a lot of fun, with hopes of running the whole time but being ok with it if we didn’t. We decided to sign up for the Color me Rad 5k, where music would be bumping loudly on speakers while we got doused with colored cornstarch. It seemed like it took ages for race day to come but soon, I was excitedly jumping in my car for the trip over to Vegas.

The Beginning of a Love/Hate Relationship with Running
Time to take a short break from backpacking to share a few running stories. In June of 2014, I ran in my first 1/2 marathon then ran my second 1/2 marathon in July.

It definitely took a long time to become a person who was interested in entering a 1/2. Here is a little background on how I got there….
