Why I run…My story in a nutshell

How do you run so much? Don’t your knees hurt? Isn’t running bad for your knees?? These are several questions I get asked daily, so here’s my story!

I started running back in junior high school as a way to try and be involved and get to know people and continued running throughout my high school years. While serving in the Air Force I also ran as part of the physical requirements needed, but also as a way to remain fit. I’ve always loved running, but little did I know, running would truly save my life as I learned back in 2007. I had suffered severely from postpartum depression, and after having some career setbacks that year along with losing my fraternal Grandfather, I KNEW I needed to get my mind right. I was talking with a friend in mid-September, and on a whim we decided to run the Rock and Roll half marathon in San Antonio, TX. I had less than 8 weeks to train and I gave it everything I had. I would run in the evenings after work, and my training plan was mapped out on a simple note pad. I tracked my mileage map by driving the route and annotating the mile markers on my plan. I had a simple Timex watch that tracked my time per mile which I had to track with pen and paper when I got home from my run. There were no fancy GPS watches or gels, it was just me, my IPod, some water, and my worn out Nike shoes. I ran that first half marathon in 2:19, and I can say it was a defining moment in my life. Finally I had a release to the stress and sadness, finally I felt like me again.
Fast forward 12 years, and I’ve now ran 3 full marathons (PR is 4:25) and 17 half marathons (PR is 2:00:11). Running is a NEED in my life, no longer a simple past time. As you can imagine, 30+ years of running has taken it’s toll on my knees. This last couple of years especially. I have tried all the glucosamine supplements, NSAIDS, and everything in between with no relief. I had honestly contemplated giving up distance running which just the thought of it broke my heart. So when Tad from NOVO Renew reached out to me, asking if I wanted to try his all natural supplements for pain relief and anti-inflammatory issues, I thought, “Why not?”
So here I am just a couple of weeks later, and I can already feel a difference. My knees don’t constantly hurt, and I am able to walk/run pain free!!! Does story resonate with you at all?
