You Better Be Moving...

"Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it will not survive.  Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.  It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be moving."   - Maurice Greene
(attributed to Roger Bannister shortly after running the first sub-4 mile)

About the Runner behind the words...

A quick intro about who I am:
I'm a teacher by profession, a
writer by passion, a mother by luck, and a runner by design. I've been running since 1992, which means that as of right now, my running age is legal to drink and vote. My running career has led me to travel around the world racing, and using my feet as the best (and cheapest) tour guides available. It has earned me some High School Honors including individual and team State Championships on the cross-country field and Track. It has earned me a Full Track scholarship to the University of Florida where I earned a B.S. degree in Animal Science Biology. Running has led to me to many trips to the podium, has accompanied me in difficult/trying times where emotions needed to be sorted, has been my strength when the world around me seemed foreign, and most importantly of all, has been my life compass.  It's safe for you to assume that I don't think running is a hobby...I think it's a lifestyle.
