Running is my Drug of Choice
Dear Nike,
Thank you for sending me a pair of FlyKnit running shoes this fall, I absolutely loved training with them. The colors are absolutely fabulous as well. I rock the shoes every time I wear them.
With your gear and training support from Goals Fitness and Team Philly; I completed 4 half marathons, 1 Sprint Triathlon and the Philadelphia Marathon in 2012. Working full time and training for these events took careful time management planning and a bucket load of desire to make this happen. I’m not an elite athlete, yet I set improvement goals with each workout. That is the beauty of sport; there is an unending potential to become better than you were the day before. Who wouldn’t want that?
All of what I have accomplished and what I will accomplish in the years to come will be through hard work and proper training – no performance enhancers needed.
I look forward to training with Nike gear and setting new records in my half marathon and marathon runs this year. Now off to bed as I have an early morning fitness bootcamp class.
Happy Running!

Good for you!
Yeah, too bad I don’t have corporate sponsorship.
I see those stickers on cars around here. I used to think they referred to Bible verses until a friend who used to run marathons, until diabetes messed up her feet, told me they refer to the distances marathon runners run.
