Hello friends!
Help me celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the first time I ran the Los Angeles Marathon, in 2003!
I would like to fundraise for Student’s Run LA because I started running [regularly] while in high school. I remember putting on my blue running shoes, sweats, and hitting the streets for the first time as part of a health and fitness journey. This has led to a lifelong love of running/jogging/walking and even wearing spandex in public (something I never thought I would do.) PS: Clothing with stretch remains a fav. The first marathon I completed was right before starting my grad school program – so it’s all full circle.
I hope that other students (and everyone) can enjoy the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle now and beyond.
If I hit my goal of $1000 + $200 *(Marathon registration) by March 2023 I will complete this year’s marathon in 2023/ pandemic and event, misc permitting.
Thank you!
