National Running Day!

I run for my health, for my family, for my future, and for all those that cannot. I run to stay in shape. I run to feel good. I run to have energy and to clear my mind. I run to be a role model and to show others that anything is possible.

This year, I am running a half-marathon race with Team Challenge on behalf of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. I am running because there is someone in my life touched by IBD and he has inspired me to challenge myself and overcome the odds. I run for Nick. I run for Erin. I run for Timmy. I run for the 1.5 million Americans suffering from Crohn's and colitis.

I run for a cure.

What inspires you to run?
