Leading up to the Martinsville Half-Marathon, I'll feature the stories of other runners so you can hear different perspectives on how various people began running and what motivates them. Today's guest blogger is Tiffany Coleman of Martinsville, who has been running for about six years now. I had the opportunity to run with Tiffany today and enjoyed getting to know her a little better.
My name is Tiffany Coleman, I am 41 years old, I have been married for 12 years and I am a mother of 2 daughters CW age 8 and B age 6. My whole life I have been an active person who loves the outdoors. Every morning at 6 am I walked with one of my dearest friends. She moved out of town after B was born and I dreaded walking alone in the dark…but I did. Then my brother made a suggestion that changed my life…..J who is 7 years older than me suggested running…….Hmmm I thought I could burn just as many calories in half of the time!
