Different Breed

Runners are a different breed.  We take pride in blistered feet, bruised toenails, and chafed skin.  We become experts in energy gels, and hydration strategies.  For many of us, running is a refuge from day-to-day stress.  It's our passion.  Our meditation and reflection.  We run to live and live to run.

This one isn't me, in case you were wondering.

Hydration always important.  Also not me :)

 Yeah this one is me stripping during a race and right after my Gu!
