I am a newbie runner and while I have not had a drink in several years, I absolutely love what running does for me. It helps me to feel strong, both mentally and physically. I have only done 5ks, and am in awe of the marathoners. I am constantly inspired by the people I meet at races. There are all walks of life and so many interesting stories of how people came to love this sport.
I am so excited for you!!! I know you will do well!
