Why I know I am a RUNNER

Sarah tagged me.

I am a runner because...

- The act of running beautiful - the rhythm, the cadence, the dance, the simplicity of forward motion

- Running is my meditation

Angie emerges from the woods just past the turnaround

- It gives me confidence

- I would go crazy if I didn't

- It takes me an hour-and-a-half, at least, to get warmed up

- I plan my vacations around races (even races I don't run!)

Anne, Jess, Jeff, Matt and Angie

- The majority of my friendships revolve around running

- I think about running when I'm at work, at the grocery store, at home, reading a book, while creating art

- The idea of running 30 miles for my 30th birthday energizes me

Coming into the mid aid station at Pemberton

- I'm tempted to eat gels when I'm hungry

Gu tastes good!

- I drink nunn at work

Ash and Mama run to the finish line

- I'd rather go shopping for a sports bra than a regular bra (hell, I'd rather wear a sports bra than a regular bra)

Angie cools off under the waterfall at Sabino Canyon

- My hiking shoes are my running shoes

- I take my camelback on non-running-related excursions (like going downtown for an art fair)

Iron Girl Mother/Daughter 5k

- I'll get up at 5 am in the dark of winter to get 5 miles in before work - and enjoy every step of the way

- I have more running photos than art photos on my flickr page

Tied for last at Pemberton

- I create RUNNING art!

I love it!!!!!!!!! I love the picture of you third to bottom...that smile says it all!

No wonder we get along so well, Angie. You put into words and pictures exactly why I -- and I suspect a lot of others -- run for fun. Thank you.

Fun post! Your pictures only add to how awesome of a runner you are!

Angie! That was great. :)

Man, I need to un-tag it now? Everything has been said and done by the time I am back in town...

Great post - I love the story in pictures.
