To Start With.

Hello humans!
Hi, my name is Emilie, and I like to run. I like to run, although sometimes I don't eat correctly or work out as much as I should as a runner. Sometimes I do cross-train (not to be confused with Crossfit) like I am supposed to, and some days I eat like a runner should. I'm super average, I have enough knowledge about the correctness of running and the correct lifestyle choices a runner should have to be dangerous.

My body is not teeny like you see a lot of professional long-distance runners, but I'm not a large person either. My life is not CONSUMED by running but I do like to do it often and surround my "diet" by it. The farthest I have ever run in my life was 13.1 miles, or as we endearingly call it, a half-marathon. I have only run one of those and I have been known to run a 5K in under 30 minutes (self-timing). I have also been known to run a 5K in over well over 30 minutes so believe me when I say I am not a cocky runner.

In this blog space I will be talking about my running experiences, it may be my normal run and how it went that day, and sometimes there might be something special like a race or a certain place I ran (Vienna, Austria anybody?) Or quite possibly certain unfortunate events like a dog biting my calf while running in a foreign land. Since my life is split up into two continents some posts might just be more exciting than others. If you are a runner too, let's not forget the best part...commiserating about aches and pains while running, talking about different approaches to running, or ways to improve.

I know there are a lot of blogs out there about running and there are people who know so much more about it than I do or ever hope to know. I just wanted to start a blog about the running experiences I have and possibly hear about some of yours in the comments. I'm just a normal human with no physical advantage but wants to take advantage of the physical while I still can.

Run day at a time.
