Thanks for this post Ashley. I've always been an athlete of other sports (football, rugby, track sprinter), but was always apprehensive about calling myself a runner. I'm a big, heavy guy who happens to enjoy running and articles like this help me declare, "I am a runner." Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! This idea that you have to look a certain way/feel a certain way/run a specific pace to be a “runner” is so outdated. As long as you’re running, you’re a runner. Keep at it!
2016 Ashley was already a great writer but didn't have a clue that running was going to change her life.
