At eleven years old, I stood in the stands with the rest of family, watching my dad cross the finish line of his first marathon. With pain and exhaustion clearly shown on his face, I was absolutely positive that he was insane. How could he have spent the last few months training for this?

So naturally, when my mom proposed I run a 5k, which is about three times more than what I’ve ever run before, I laughed it off and followed it with a sarcastic “Yeah… I’ll think about it.” I guess I wasn’t sarcastic enough because within a few hours I received an email from my mom that showed that I was registered and all race dues were paid for.
