Walk the Water Stops

I started running 11 years ago, at the age of 36, while we were living in Richmond. The Monument Avenue 10K is a popular race in the city, and a friend and I decided that we would follow a training plan and go for it. My husband had always encouraged me to start running and I am so glad that I did. Going out for a run has the ability to clear your mind and make you feel amazing. It gets the yucky out; that’s what I always tell my boys. They aren’t totally sold on signing up for races or adding it to a daily routine yet, but I’m working on it. Our daughter embraced running in the ninth grade, and it has truly become a part of who she is.
