First off) The most popular question that is asked to runners, is "Why do you run?" or "What are you running from?", and this running expedition is no different. For the past eleven years, my answer was always, "I am training for my race" or "I need to get better/faster".Ever since Middle School, running has become a passion of mine, and the idea of running across the United States popped in my head. This idea has been in my head and has been a goal of mine for ever since. As I graduate from my Undergrad, I know that this is the best time to actually live/pursue this goal and dream of mine. I am currently in the best shape in my life, and I am in a transition. Do I work? Do I go and get my Masters? Do I start a family? Do I take a year off? Whatever I do, I know that it will be another long commitment with me getting not getting younger. Other than my family, I don't really haven any responsibilities. No job/career, no significant other, no many close friend, and no debt to pay off. WHEN IN MY LIFE CAN I EVER SAY THIS AGAIN??? The only aspect of my life that I am leaving is my family. I am a family kind of person, and it absolutely kills me that I will not be able to see them for three-ish months, and I don't want them to waste time worrying about me.
Second)Run Forest Run... Easily the most popular comment to make when seeing people run. You only hear bits and pieces of it, when people drive by you, but you are able to hear the whole saying at stoplights. Look. I get it. I am running, and yes I may look different in my running shorts or other running clothes, but come up with a better comment.
