My Personal Running Journey ~ how it all started, the lessons I've learned & why I continue to run!

In today's video, I share my personal running journey. I explain how it all started, the lessons I've learned, and why I continue to run! I had no idea how much my life would change when I signed up for my first race in 2017. Running has changed my life and I couldn't imagine it not being a part of it. I hope you enjoy hearing about it and happy running!

You say your journey is nothing special but there are very few runners who ever achieve a sub 3 marathon!! That is truly awesome. I’m 50 and have run 10 marathons. Finally qualified for Boston last year with a 3:45!! I fly out on Thursday and I am beyond excited!!!! 🦄🦄🦄

Amy, thank you so much for sharing your story! This video had me on an emotional rollercoaster of excitement hearing about your progression and what running means to you! It is truly amazing how running can change lives - and get us through the tough times. I'm currently training for my first marathon in May and have found your videos super helpful and inspirational. Keep being you - can't wait for the next video! :)

Amy, I know your dad would have been and would be so proud of you. It was so neat to hear your journey. Thanks for sharing this. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story - it's amazing how many of us were helped to overcome the challenges of 2020 through running and have since become stronger, healthier and hopefully runners for life.

Hi Amy! I went down a Boston Marathon YouTube rabbit hole this evening, and I stumbled upon your page. So far, I’ve really appreciated all of your helpful insights and your authentic style is a breath of fresh air.

After watching this video, I realized that my story is crazy similar to yours. I got hooked on running 4 years, recently joined a running club to help me improve, just learnt I need to get proper “race shoes”, and I’m running my first Boston this year (aiming for sub-3). I also live in Boston, and I’ve been doing my long runs with Tracksmith :)

I will be doing my first half marathon in May. And I must say I have already fallen in love with running. It's doing wonders for my mental and emotional health 😃

Thank you for sharing your running story. I enjoyed listening to it. I wear bifocals but do not wear either glasses or contacts when I run. I just follow the crowd or hope that I do not need to read small print. My first marathon was the 2021 Buffalo Marathon. Unfortunately, it was about 24 C at race time and about 26.7 C when I finished. Though I finished (3:48), I became dehydrated and needed to go to the medical tent at the end. I ran the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon in 2019 and really enjoyed the experience.

[katwatson]

I love this so much! I feel like we have pretty similar running trajectories. I wish we were still in the same city so we could train together! Runner musicians are rare :)

[liztodd]
