  • Survey Results Am I a Runner Yet?

    Survey Results Last week I posted a survey asking if you felt like a runner, or a person who runs. If you keep at it long enough, running becomes part of your identity. It not only consumes your time but excites your imagination, hopes and dreams. Becoming a runner sneaks up on you. In 2003…
