Hi Terrell, In 2002, when i was one week out from running my first marathon, I was involved in a serious car accident that left me in a coma and with broken bones, a collapsed lung, a strained knee, and a traumatic brain injury. One year later, I ran that marathon. But it wasn't the running that changed my life. It was a new mindset.
I love telling stories, and especially my running story. Very glad to talk more! And thank you for doing this.
I like to say that I *hate* exercise! But I love running. I'm just lucky it's healthy :).
Running has always seemed to have more to do with my spiritual life than with my physical fitness. So much so that I'm working on something right now called 'a gym for your soul'.
and I've always just known I was a runner. It took me a long time to run consistently because I had to work through all the ways I didn't actually believe I was an athlete, or a 'good' runner. But putting one foot in front of the other, over and over again, has always just had a way of releasing something inside me. It brings me joy.
Some things can only be learned between my shoes and the road.
Not tall enough to play basketball, not strong enough to play baseball or football, mediocre tennis player, squash to me is a vegetable, cycling I leave to the experts. BUT, 5Ks, 10Ks, halves … they’re some place where you can share stories with fellow runners.
Love this direction! I'm unfortunately, not that interesting...the other thing is that I wanted to thank you for the information you shared on Seth Harwood. I LOVE his site which is so clear wrt services and costs. Thanks for sharing that information along with your personal experience working with Seth.
I am interested. I have been running for 50 years (played hockey of and on until I was 73. Had a medical problem a couple of years ago - my doctor believed my physical condition from running saved my life.
Awesome, Kenneth! That's exactly what I'd love to dive into -- can you reply back with your email address, and we can go from there? Thanks in advance! 🙌
So cool, I try to apply the phrase: it’s slowing down, being in the moment and taking your time that connects. To my running, life, parenting, etc. Thanks so much!!!
Hey Terrell, if you are still up for more stories, I'm happy to share mine. It involves heartache, drama, triumph, boringness, and a look towards the future :)
Also I am going to email you because I have question for you about training. Thanks!

I think my stories go on forever. . . depends on how far you want to go back tho they aren't all mine. it's family history that's been passed on. :)
You KNOW I want to hear them, Nilima!! :)
