THE RUN MOTIVE

Welcome to The Run Motive, my journey through running. While not every run is truly fun, running is something that puts me in touch with different aspects of myself. It teaches me to overcome my biggest obstacles and to believe in myself fully. Running has taught me that my "why" is everchanging. This page began as a way to hold myself accountable while training for my first 50k. Mission accomplished!

Now I hope to encourage others to find joy through running.

So set that next goal and go run.
