Addicted

I joined USAFit/Philly in 2008. I wanted to attempt a marathon. I really didn't think this would be more than a one and done thing. Let me see if I can do it and cross if off the list.

HA! Not a chance. With the help of the group, I learned that running wasn't the punishment that my junior high and high school hockey and lacrosse coaches used it for. I learned about shoes and gear, nutrition and hydration, fueling and so much more. In short, I learned to enjoy running! I was hooked.

That's not why I keep coming back though. I come back (this will be my 4th season) because I'm addicted to the people in this group. I've made friends that I know I'll have for a long time - even if I stop running and walking. I've never been part of such a diverse group of people who so genuinely care about eachother.

Try us you'll like us. :)
