Who Inspires You to Run?

Who inspires you to get out of bed at dawn and go run insane distances wearing a funny belt and a hat with holes in it?  Coach Joe from Chicago Endurance Sports gave me a great tip while huffing and puffing on the only hot day last year when I ran 14 miles--dedicate your runs to someone who inspires you.  This morning I was going to dedicate my run to Tamara, my advisor at DePaul.  Unfortunately, I overslept and missed this morning's run.  Oops:)  Well, I am dedicating today's morning off to the fabulous staff at RVA.  I figure all the women who work at RVA could use a day off.  The staff at RVA always say "thank you for all that you do"--no, ladies, thank YOU for all that you do!  My day off today is for you:)

Who inspires you to run?  Feel free to post below!

  1. Hello, it's Laura

    So I'm a little late in replying but late is better than never right:)

    When I run a lot of people go through my head. Almost all the time I think back to my aunt as inspiration for numerous reasons. One of the main is just how much she went through. She was a FBI agent and one of the first females to be on the SWAT team. I think back to everything she had to endure physically and emotionally and how she made it through that. That always makes the mere 5 miles I'm huffing and puffing through seem attainable.
