I need a place to track my training progress so I guess here is as good as any.
I’m Lynae. I work at Starbucks. I love to run.
For me, running has always been a safe place. I ran track & field in middle and high school, and ran on my nights off. I picked up running again when I was older as a way to lose weight, and fell back in love with it. There’s just nothing quite like that runners high. But, for me, it’s more than that. It’s the only place I feel whole and completely myself. There’s an urgency in it. I have a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia (it’s closely related to MS) and the possibility that I may not always be able to walk, let alone run, is always wandering around my mind. So for me, all I want to do is run and push the limits. I ran my second marathon this year, and was hoping for a sub 5. The look on my face crossing the finish line at 5:02 is heartbreaking. So here’s to getting under 5, and eventually under 4. Maybe throw in an ultra marathon in there.
