So before the 13 marathons and before the 26 half marathons, before the ambassadorships, when did running come into your life and what brought you to it?

2017, I volunteered at the 26 mile of the Chicago Marathon in 2016.

And I was so inspired.

At the time, I'm a severe asthmatic.

I was driving around with a handicap placard and I carried a nebulizer.

And I just never thought that would be in the cards for me.

I was training pretty seriously, strength training.

What does running still give you that nothing else does?

[laughs]

So [laughs] that is a blessing.

Um, I first started running, um, well, got interested in running because I volunteered at the 2016 Chicago Marathon at the 26th mile.

And at the time, I was, um, uh, you know, I'm still a severe asthmatic, and I was carrying a, um, a nebulizer everywhere I went and I was driving around with a handicap placard.

But I was so inspired.

I mean, they say, you know, if, if you want inspiration, watch a marathon, and boy was I inspired.

So many people of different walks of life, so many abilities, different countries, and just, you know, pushing themselves like outside of their comfort zone, because that is where growth really happens.

You're like, "Wait a minute," yeah.
